S3E18: Meg Lee and Jim Heal on Evidence-Informed Practice at Scale

Welcome back to Progressively Incorrect, I am your host, Dr. Zach Groshell. Today I am thrilled to be speaking with Meg Lee and Jim Heal, two educators at the cutting-edge of evidence-based education. They’re going to be talking to us about the work they’re doing to scale the science of learning up and across this fine country through their Learning Science Consortium… let’s hope it takes off, because it feels like we’re paddling upstream sometimes to our friends in the UK and Australia.

This podcast is brought to you by John Catt Educational, which publishes some of the best books in education. This week I’d like to do one more plug for the book, Responsive Coaching by Josh Goodrich, mainly because it is amazing. Josh has written a book that perfectly addresses the issues I’ve had as an instructional coach. It outlines a practical, efficient, and accountable approach to instructional coaching that just makes so much sense. This is one of the best books I’ve read in 2024, folks, and I highly recommend you check it out.

Did you know that I support schools nationwide and internationally to develop their instructional frameworks based on the ideas I talk about every week on this podcast? If you’re looking for high quality professional development on cognitive load theory, explicit instruction, and the science of learning, please don’t hesitate to send me a message through my Contact page, which is linked in the show notes. We can meet on Zoom and put together a plan that moves your school forward.

Now, without further ado, let’s roll the tape of my discussion with two of the leading change makers in education, Meg Lee and Jim Heal.
