This was such a comprehensive look at the issue.

I was glad it touched on the piece that’s most frustrating to my own work: even when teachers go through rigorous ed prep programs, they often get those research-based practices taught out of them by veteran colleagues once they enter the field. Teacher prep programs get a lot of flak (rightly) but reforming them is only one piece of the puzzle.
