The "What Works Clearinghouse"

Oregon educators don't have the time, money, or resources to experiment with what might work. They need to know what has worked in education, and why. The "What Works Clearinghouse" is a great way for educators, policymakers and the public to get that information. The clearinghouse is a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education. It provides reviews and reports on existing studies of interventions in topic areas that range from adolescent literacy to character development to middle school math. The site provides a set of standards that follow scientifically valid criteria for determining the effectiveness of these interventions. That saves time, money, and helps avoid the risks of experimentation. Check out this valuable resource at www.whatworks.ed.gov.
