Education Evidence & Indicators
What Works Clearinghouse (WWC)
- The WWC was established in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences and is administered as a joint venture of AIR and the Campbell Collaboration. The WWC produces high-quality reviews of scientific evidence of the effectiveness of educational programs, practices, products, and policies. With the guidance of research experts and the education community, the WWC has developed and is applying standards for reviewing and synthesizing research in topic areas that matter to educators and policymakers. The WWC does not endorse particular educational interventions, nor does it develop or conduct its own program evaluation. Rather, it produces solid evidence to better inform education decision makers.
National Center on Student Progress Monitoring (NCSPM)
- Working in conjunction with researchers from Vanderbilt University, NCSPM is a national technical assistance and dissemination Center dedicated to the implementation of scientifically-based student progress monitoring. The Center's mission is to provide technical assistance to states and districts and disseminate information about progress monitoring practices proven to work in different academic content areas for grades K-5.
