When change is based on research there is a model to follow that teachers can adapt or fit to their particular target group and more importantly- their teaching style.
Teachers exploring research based practice in the classroom are eager to get started.
They see a benefit that they can translate to their classroom. They have identified their philosophies and what they do in their classroom in the research design. Adminsitrators and researchers need to remember that most teachers teach the way they learn. Good or bad, it is a fact. So instead of valuing a particular method as good, bad, or this is not used any more, the administrator and the research need to take stock of the teacher's view.
