When using education research, school board members, superintendents, and district leaders are in a sometimes frustrating position. They are implored, or even required by law, to make “scientifically based” decisions. They are inundated with research findings; a Google search on merit pay, for instance, yields more than a half-million hits. But they do not have the resources to sift through various studies and determine which are most promising for their districts. Making matters especially difficult is talk of “data-driven decision making” and “scientifically based research.” These phrases imply that translating research into policy and practice is a relatively straightforward matter of latching onto the right solutions and making them work. If only it were that simple.

The hard truth is that research is produced and disseminated by researchers, public officials, education groups, journalists, and advocacy organizations–all of whom inevitably have their own views, incentives, and biases.
