The National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE) helps policymakers and educators make informed decisions about educational programs and interventions by providing evidence-based information through the Center’s Evaluation and Knowledge Use divisions.
The combined activities of these divisions demonstrate an underlying commitment to evidencebased education by:
- Conducting rigorous impact studies of promising educational programs and practices that are supported through federal funds;
- Developing and applying through the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) scientifically-grounded evidence standards to gauge educational interventions; and
- Widely disseminating the results of evidence-based research through NCEE evaluation reports, Regional Educational Laboratories research products, WWC intervention and topic reports, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and the National Library of Education.
