Description:

According to When Research Matters, analytical and well-researched data are the most important component to positively impacting school policy. This book explores the evolving nature of policy research and the thinking that should proceed school policy.

Synopsis:

When Research Matters considers the complex and crucially important relationship between education research and policy. In examining how and under what conditions research affects education policy, the book focuses on a number of critical issues: the history of the federal role in education policy; the evolving nature of educational policy research; the role of research in debates about reading, NCLB, and out-of-field teaching; how research affects policy by shaping public opinion, judicial rulings, and the decisions of district and school leaders; and the incentives that help explain the behavior of researchers and policymakers."
