Digital Promise's Marketplace Initiative, which has collaborated with district leaders across the country to develop tools and resources that support their edtech evaluation efforts, wanted to understand how tools can support education decision makers use evidence to inform procurement and adoption decisions. In 2018, Digital Promise administered a survey to further contribute to the research that exists on research and evidence use in schools and districts. Most research on this topic only considers the perspectives of superintendents and principals. This new survey, however, intended to incorporate perceptions and attitudes around research and evidence use across a more expansive list of education roles, including educators, coaches, and instructional specialists. To guide future work, the survey also sought to understand self-reported research and evidence use across Digital Promise networks to understand who needs coaching and support going forward and in what areas. Through the survey, findings uncover differences between education leaders' perceptions of the significance of research and evidence to inform program adoption and procurement. Moreover, the survey finds interesting differences in the types of research and evidence used by various education roles to inform decisions around the adoption and procurement of innovative educational programs.
