Lead Your School with Confidence - Backed by Evidence
The Evidence Empowered Educator (E3) Method gives teachers and school leaders a simple, flexible framework to use data, research, and continuous improvement to make better decisions and drive real student success.
Your team has seen the data. What should you try next?
Attendance is slipping. Students are still struggling after a change in instruction. Your team agrees there’s a problem, but everyone has a different idea about what to do.
The Evidence-Empowered Educator Method gives you a practical way to work through that decision. Use local data to get clearer about the problem, draw on research to choose a response, and test a small change so you can see what’s helping while there’s still time to adjust.
What Is the E3 Method?
The E3 Method brings together three essential pillars:
Data Analysis – Move beyond surface-level test scores. Use data as a tool for curiosity, uncovering patterns, and finding bright spots that drive improvement.
Research Use – Connect local insights to proven strategies. Adapt evidence-based practices to fit your students and context.
Continuous Improvement Systems – Build sustainable routines that help you test, refine, and expand what works — turning classrooms into laboratories of innovation.
Read the E3 Guide
The Evidence-Empowered Educator Method is a practical guide to connecting research, data, and improvement. Follow three school teams as they work through decisions about a cafeteria routine, the transition to sixth grade, and support for students entering Algebra II. Along the way, you’ll see what each team tried, what it learned, and what it decided to do next.
Read it with a decision from your own work in mind, or bring it to your team and work through a question together.
