The Shift towards Evidence-Based Instruction

There is a growing shift towards evidence-based instruction in education, with a focus on using research-supported strategies and methods. This shift has been driven by a greater awareness of the importance of effective teaching practices and the need to ensure that students are receiving instruction that is based on solid evidence. One area where this shift can be seen is in the field of reading instruction, where there has been a growing recognition of the importance of phonics and explicit instruction. Additionally, there is a similar movement in math education, known as the science of math, which emphasizes the use of evidence-based practices in mathematics teaching. While these shifts will take time and face some opposition, the aim is to ensure that teachers are equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide effective instruction based on solid research.
