What Works Clearinghouse

Here is some more news that relates to the No Child Left Behind act and its requirements for the use of "scientifically rigorous" interventions.

The "What Works Clearinghouse" has been established and is being headed by Dr. Larry V. Hedges of the University of Chicago. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is a national project, created in August 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement, to meet this need. Through a set of easily accessible Web-based databases on what works, the WWC will provide decision-makers with the information they need to make choices based on high quality scientific research. The WWC will develop standards for reviewing and synthesizing rigorous research and will provide its findings in accessible, straightforward language through the following user-friendly, searchable online databases.
