What we need in education is more integrity (and less fidelity) of implementation

Simply put, this has involved the application of numerous tools and procedures designed to ensure that implementers replicate programs exactly as they were designed and intended.
There is a simple and immutable logic to this urge to strictly control implementation. It is compelled by the methodologies (and their attendant mindset) that warrant programs as effective. The manner in which we validate “what works” in education involves research methodologies that privilege explanatory power as their primary purpose. To arrive at valid explanations, the methodologies necessarily abstract problems and programmatic solutions from their contexts.
