Dean Brabeck Featured Thought Leader on New Blog
Mary Brabeck, dean of NYU Steinhardt, has been invited to blog about education on a new website, www.GETideas.org, sponsored by Cisco Systems, Inc.
Developed by Cisco's Global Education group, the website is meant to foster dialogue among education thought leaders and to function as a hub for the exchange of knowledge and ideas on transforming education.
The website features a blog by noted experts, video content, case studies as well as news and other resources for educators.
In her most recent blog post, Dean Brabeck writes about the need for increased use of evidence-based interventions (EBI) and evidence-based practice (EBP) among educators.
"Teachers need to be encouraged in their early training to use both EBI and EBP approaches," she writes. "Both are attempts to apply science to rigorously examine the results of teaching interventions. And researchers need to be encouraged to fill the gap of knowledge about evidence based interventions."
