Evidence-based help desk.
The What Works Clearinghouse, established by the Department's
Institute of Education Sciences, recently launched an Evidence-Based
Education Help Desk (http://whatworkshelpdesk.ed.gov/). The Help
Desk's mission is to provide policymakers, practitioners, and
researchers with easy-to-use resources to advance evidence-based
education. Specifically, the Help Desk offers resources to assist in
conducting rigorous evaluations of education programs, sponsoring
evaluations, and identifying and implementing evidence-based programs.
Knowledgeable moderators are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET,
Monday through Friday, by phone (1-866-WWC-9799) or by email
(info@whatworks.ed.gov), to navigate users through what is available.
