I've had some criticism about what I do. Although the things I do are well researched, the research does not blend the various approaches together, so some have told me that I really am NOT using researched based instructional practices. Some have said you can't pick and choose, that following a best practice needs to follow the research as closely as possible in order to be valid. The way I see it, I am teaching children, not lab rats. I have to try to tailor what I'm doing to fit the needs of the particular set of children in my classroom."
Sums things up right there, doesn't it?
