Join us for a special lecture from the 2019 Spencer Foundation Award recipient, Russ Whitehurst, Stony Brook University.  In his lecture, "Evidence-Based Education - Will the Past Be the Prologue", Whitehurst makes the case for there having been a revolution in applied education research in this century.  He identifies principal challenges that will need to be addressed successfully if evidence-based education is to become normative, and thus realize its promise of generating fundamental improvements in the process and outcomes of the education enterprise.
