Episode 172 - From Research to Practice

As a show about reading research to improve practice, you’d think we’d spent more time reviewing research on WHY practitioners should review research regularly. Well, just in case we haven’t made it clear in the past five years, we’re exploring both sides of the research/practitioner coin in these next two episodes. This week: how can practitioners think of themselves as researchers in their work and improve their evidence-based practices in the process. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
