And have you ever wondered whether policymakers read reading research? The article below (from the PEN Weekly Newsblast for 3/12-04) looks like a helpful approach to helping us answer those questions. All the Best, Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List Glen Allen, VA mwpotts2001@aol.com NEW ONLINE "PRIMER" HELPS POLICYMAKERS EVALUATE EDUCATION RESEARCH The Education Commission of the States (ECS) and Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) have launched a new online tool to help policymakers, education leaders, reporters and others better understand and evaluate education research. The interactive, online document is a first-of-its kind effort. The primer helps policymakers and other interested individuals answer three questions: (1) What does the research say? (2) Is the research trustworthy? (3) How can the research be used to guide policy? It was written by McREL Principal Researcher Patricia Lauer and funded through grants from the U.S. Department of Education. http://www.ecs.org/html/educationIssues/Research/primer/foreword.asp
