Education Reporting of Research: Buyer Beware
Like many educators I get "SmartBrief" in my email every day. Published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), it offers links to interesting articles and reports. I was especially intrigued by the brief description the ASCD provided for a recent item.
The headline read "Students can benefit from tackling hardest material first."
Its conclusion was simply inaccurate.
