Description¶

The article's forward-looking recommendation is that rigorous education research may continue to grow as the Institute of Education Sciences keeps conducting and funding studies designed to meet WWC standards and as more decisions are directly tied to evidence. The article states: "As IES continues to conduct and fund studies designed to meet standards, and more decisions are directly tied to evidence, the body of rigorous education research may continue to grow."
