Doing What Works website launched

Doing What Works (DWW) is a new website sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. DWW is dedicated to helping educators identify and make use of effective teaching practices. Much of the DWW content is based on the Institute of Education Sciences' What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). The WWC evaluates research on practices and interventions to let the education community know what is likely to work. For each practice, it issues a guide and/or an intervention report that describes what the practice involves and what the research says. In addition, some DWW content is based on other information and materials from IES.

DWW also provides examples of possible ways educators might apply those research findings, but these are not necessarily the only ways to carry out these teaching practices. Please note that the examples provided on DWW, including any products named in school materials or found on websites referenced on DWW, should not be construed as an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Education of any products, programs, or curricula.
