Rob Evans currently serves as the Senior Team Lead for Multilingual Education at Farrell B. Howell, an ECE–8 school in Denver Public Schools. He is committed to engaging educators in the creation of practical, quasi-practical, and theoretic knowledge through action research.

Dr. Evans was introduced to Lesson Study while serving in the JET Program in Japan (2006–2010), where he supported the expansion of English education at the elementary level. After returning to the U.S., he began localizing Lesson Study, leading to his CPED-informed EdD dissertation-in-practice exploring it as action-oriented inquiry.
