ED Launches 'Doing What Works' Web Site

ED Launches 'Doing What Works' Web Site: The Department of Education has launched a new Web site to provide teachers, administrators and other educators with recommendations on effective teaching practices and examples of possible ways to implement those practices to help promote excellence in American education and improve student achievement. According to the department, the new site, Doing What Works, allows users to quickly locate teaching practices that have been found effective by the department's research arm, the Institute of Education Sciences, and similar organizations. In addition, it cites examples of possible ways this research may be used to help students reach their academic potential. Doing What Works is meant to turn research to practice and help achieve the No Child Left Behind Act goal of ensuring every student is on grade-level by 2014.
