It's even worse than that: they're selling your replacement.

Oh you're right on the money. The most recent #researchED partnership with AEI makes this explicit:

Olivia I have the wildest update to share with you lol

Vaya, al final todo esto de las “evidencias” era negocio y, tal y como dijimos desde el principio, partía de una visión conservadora de la educación (siendo amable) 🙃

mentres a escola pública enfróntase a crises e desigualdades estruturais, a estratexia da dereita liberal é vender "parches" privados e empaquetados.

Notice the connection between political conservatism (anti-union, pro-privatization) and educational conservatism ("explicit instruction & systematic retrieval practice" [vs. inquiry] and a bunch o' facts [vs. broader skills] curric, dishonestly framed as "science of learning"):

Potser costarà una mica seguir el fil. Potser caldrà buscar les referències d’alguns noms. Però, de debò, val la pena llegir-ho, perquè ens comencin a sonar algunes coses i no ens agafin per sorpresa.
Això és el que ens espera aquí també, si ens deixem. #eduCat

The Science of Selling
covingtonedu.substack.com/p/the-scienc...

My first Substack post 👇

The Science of Selling: "While American schools face decades of compounding crises and inequities, ‘The Practice Project’ offers privatized solutions to systemic problems that any school leader can ‘add to cart’ and solve with a subscription."

In #ResearchEd's founding document, Building Evidence into Education, Ben Goldachre refers to 'patient(s)' and 'outcome(s)' a dozen times while 'rights', 'consent', 'assent', 'refuse', 'opt in/out', and 'autonomy' do not appear a single time.

New: Real Teaching. Real Evidence. Real Results. And real rightwing associations for well-known education organisation?

Houston, do we have a problem, asks this new diary piece featuring researchED’s stateside sojourn next month.

Have tried to piece together income and expenditure for researchED’s super-popular annual conference from public information, after the school where it is held revealed it does not charge the organisation for the use of the venue.

That’s the problem with ResearchEd’s origins. It wasn’t conceived as a research organisation. It was contrived as a support for Gove’s Trad policies & Bennett happened to be an education face. Instead of ResearchEd, it should be called BiasEd. It’s research to back a purpose & that’s not research.

It's noticeably less education-y on here than Xitter, but all the same - if you're heading to ResearchEd's national conference, come see me and @philippacordingley.bsky.social at 14.00 to hear about how we're trying to shift accountability to be formative & helpful, not summative & judgemental

Are you going to be in New York City for ResearchEd's conference in March? Join our Program Director Adina Lopatin on March 29 for her presentation, “But won't it distract them? Novice teachers wrestle with using non-examples to build conceptual understanding.”

This argues neuroscience & IQ have limited classroom value, unlike evidence-based teaching strategies. Criticism of researchED's focus on these is unfounded, likely motivated by discrediting the movement.
