This web site provides evidence-based resources for free to teachers, principals, and parents.
The Best Evidence Encyclopedia is a free web site created by the Johns Hopkins University School of Education's Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education (CDDRE) under funding from the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education. It is intended to give educators and researchers fair and useful information about the strength of the evidence supporting a variety of programs available for students in grades K-12.
The organization promotes well-informed decision making by preparing, maintaining and disseminating systematic reviews in education, crime and justice, social welfare and international development.
CRRE is a research center who’s major goal is to improve the quality of education through high-quality research and evaluation studies and the dissemination of evidence-based research.
Evidence should drive all aspects of the education system. The Evidence Advocacy Center’s (EAC) short-term and long-term goals are designed to address the U.S. education crisis by:
- Dramatically increasing the proper implementation of evidence-based resources.
- Transforming education into a mature, evidence-based profession.
To achieve these goals, EAC will collaborate with and leverage the existing resources of well-known organizations focusing on the use of evidence and serves as a clearinghouse to connect states, districts, schools, educator preparation programs, and parent advocates to curated, trustworthy resources. The EAC also collaborates with a consortium of states to advance evidence-based licensure, accreditation, continuing education, and accountability.
Finally, the EAC will convene a consortium of states to identify and promote comprehensive, evidence-based certification, licensure, accreditation, continuing education, and accountability for the U.S. educational system.
Founded in 2015, the Learning Policy Institute (LPI) conducts and communicates independent, high-quality research to improve education policy and practice. LPI seeks to advance evidence-based policies at the local, state, and federal levels that support empowering and equitable learning for each and every child. Nonprofit and nonpartisan, LPI works with policymakers, researchers, educators, community groups, and others to strengthen the education system from preschool through college and career readiness.
The Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University has announced a February release for a website that reviews every math and reading program for grades K to 12 to determine which meet the strong, moderate, or promising levels of evidence defined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This web site is designed to provide education decision-makers at the state, district and school levels, teachers, parents, and the public with the information to ascertain which programs meet the ESSA evidence standards.
The Technical Assistance Center on PBIS provides support states, districts and schools to establish, scale-up and sustain the PBIS framework.
The Reading League is a national nonprofit led by educators and reading experts whose mission is to "advance the awareness, understanding, and use of evidence-aligned reading instruction." The Reading League provides professional development opportunities and tools to support educators providing effective instruction in the science of reading.
In 2024, The Reading League (TRL) began publishing Curriculum Navigation Reports. From TRL's website, "Each report provides an in-depth examination of each curriculum’s components based on evidence-aligned practices. One of the reports’ unique strengths is their emphasis on identifying ‘red flag’ practices—those that do not align with the scientific evidence base. These reports are the only ones that prioritize identifying practices that could prevent students from developing skilled reading."
The goal of the WWC is a resource for informed education decision-making. The WWC identifies evidence-based practice, program, or policy, and disseminates summary information on the WWC website.
