[Simtrainer-l] Peer-Reviewed Research Not a Must-Have for Many K-12 Officials

[Kathy Gast]

Thanks, Patty—

Yikes— while not too surprising, it seems all too often that decisions to invest in programs, materials, initiatives, etc. come down to the almighty dollar and the bottom line…….This includes professional development, of course, and the "re-deliver” option minus coaching/support can be  prevailing attractors, especially in times like the present, when we have no idea what paths the Dept of Ed may take……Stay strong, SIM™mers!!
