Evidence to Impact: A Conversation with Eric Mason

In this episode of Evidence in the Wild, I sit down with Eric Mason, a seasoned education leader with experience spanning the classroom, district-level assessment, higher ed, and federal policy. Most recently, Eric served at the Institute of Education Sciences within the U.S. Department of Education. Together, we explore the evolving landscape of education research, from teacher apprenticeship models to the complexities of root cause analysis in policymaking. Eric offers insight into where we’ve been, where we’re heading, and what it takes to move from hypothesis to impact.
