What are the most promising, evidence-based strategies for realizing student potential and improving school performance? This course engages this question, beginning with (1) the current U.S. policy context (2) a discussion of the research methods, measures, and resources commonly used to examine what works, and (3) critical perspectives on the "what works" movement. We will also discuss strategies for efficiently and effectively organizing research evidence, projecting this evidence onto specific education challenges, and presenting this analysis in an actionable manner.
