what works clearinghouse

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Educations Institute of Education Sciences (IES) that was created in 2002 to be a trusted source of information about education effectiveness. The WWC produces systematic reviews that provide a comprehensive overview of existing education research to help practitioners understand what works in education. The WWC website provides information about education programs, policies, and interventions that show evidence of effectiveness. The website also highlights interventions with research evidence that meet WWC standards. The WWC reviews research on various education programs and interventions and provides evidence-based information to help teachers, administrators, and policymakers make informed decisions about education.
