This presentation will highlight several key findings of the Institute of Education Sciences-funded Center for Research Use in Education, which is developing and validating instruments to measure the role of research and other forms of evidence in school-based decisions through collection of multilevel data from district and school staff nationwide. The speaker will focus on school-based decisions, connections between research and practice communities, dissemination of knowledge and practitioners’ capacity to critically evaluate research evidence.

This lecture is part of WCER's Interdisciplinary Training Program in Education Sciences.
