Christina Hinton - Research Goes to School

Christina Hinton discusses bridging the gap between research and practice in education. Unlike fields like medicine, education often lacks integration between research and practice. Hinton's organization collaborates with schools globally to address this gap, ensuring research is responsive to educators' needs.
