Education decisionmakers require access to the best evidence about the effectiveness of education practices, products, programs, and policies. It can be difficult, time-consuming, and costly for decisionmakers, however, to access and draw conclusions from relevant studies about the effectiveness of these interventions. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) addresses the need for credible, succinct information by identifying existing research on education interventions, assessing the quality of this research, and summarizing and disseminating the evidence from studies that meet WWC standards.
