THE DECISION MODEL

Good decisions use more than one kind of information.

Evidence
What does the research suggest?
Expertise
What can you implement well?
Learners
What do they need and value?
Context
What is feasible here?
REMEMBER THIS

Evidence is one deliberate input into a good educational decision — important, but never the only one.
