The EBP Exchange
Welcome to The EBP Exchange, the podcast where we unpack what it really takes to bring evidence-based practices to life in our schools. I’m Brooke, an assistant principal, doctoral student, and someone who’s spent way too many Sunday nights wondering why great strategies don’t always make it into Monday morning classrooms.
In this podcast, we’re going beyond the buzzwords. We’ll talk about the barriers—things like overwhelmed teachers, rigid systems, limited training, and sometimes... just plain disbelief. But we’ll also highlight what works: strong leadership, trust, cultural responsiveness, collaboration with families and the messy but meaningful work of implementation.
Whether you’re a teacher, leader, policymaker, family member or someone just trying to make school better for kids you’re in the right place. Let’s get into it.
