Summary

How can everyday teachers, administrators, and family memberswho dont have years of statistics courses under their beltsseparate the wheat from the chaff and determine which new piece of research is worth adopting? When Can You Trust the Experts? solves this knowledge gap for educators and parents by stressing clear, easy principles that differentiate reliable research from junk science. ** CONTENTS ** Introduction: What Are You To Believe?
