Here is a talk I was directed to by a colleague- Bonnie Grossen of Doug Carnine who worked with him and Zig Englemann- the developers of Direct Instruction from University of Oregon. He was a big part of the creation of the What Works Clearing House- and worked with the Bush Administration with Ted Kennedy’s office to craft NCLB and promote the evidence-based practice.

He is retired now sadly-  the slide I think on “Are non-evidence-based instructional programs racist?” is likely a good point of discussion. The current dismantlement of evidence-based practices putting the field back 30-40 years.
