This was established in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education's Institution of Education Sciences. It provides educators, policymakers, researchers and the public with a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education.
What is What Works Clearing House?

This practice can result in better outcomes for students with disabilities.
What is collaboration of teachers?
100
This and the quantity of evidence are the two criteria you can use to evaluate the quality of evidence regarding instructional practices.
What is credibility?
100
The use of multiple methods of data collection from a variety of sources to obtain a more complete picture on which to base inferences or decisions.
What is triangulation?
100
In an effort to promote a vision of “Learning for All,” McLaughlin uses a terms that means communal obligation or shared concern. In this concept, all educational staff members, general education, special education, and administration, are personally invested/accountable for the achievement of all students.
What is collective responsibility?
200
This is the gold standard of educational research in which subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and control groups, allowing for clear, unambiguous decisions about the effectiveness of an intervention.
What is experimental design?
200
Striking the right balance between providing new information or skills and engaging in mutual problem solving that allows the individual teacher to choose and adapt solution.
What is collaborative consultation?
200
This type of research generally involves intense examination of a specific situation to address broad, non-specific questions.
What is qualitative research?
200
This makes a decision valid.
What is based on evidence in the form of real data?
200
This heuristic, or rule of thumb, leads to a potential error in judgment as it focus on how frequent an event is in their immediate environment, or how available it is to the decision maker.
What is availability heuristic?
300
This feature in high quality research uses reviewers who are independently judging the quality of the research.
What is peer review?
300
This form of a co-teaching strategy occurs when class is divided and each teacher delivers the same content and instruction to his or her section of the class.
What is parallel teaching?
300
This research involves very specific questions, for example, it may look at standardized reading test scores among third graders who attend private Catholic schools in Minnesota. It is more objective in nature than qualitative research.
What is quantitative research?
300
Reliable data gathering tools are reliable when they are free of this: static or noise within a data system that reduce the effectiveness of inferences.
What is random error?
300
This heuristic, or rule of thumb, leads to potential error as it focuses of superficial or extraneous characteristics to make a decision, or a smaller feature represents the whole picture or group.
What is representatives heurisitc?
400
A quality of research where the sample used strongly resembles the students the intervention is meant to target.
What is representative sample?
400
This form of a co-teaching strategy occurs when one teacher has the primary role of designing and delivering instruction while the second teacher floats, helping and observing individual students
What is One Teaching One Supporting?
400
This practice maintains if the same results are obtained in multiple studies, one knows that their research is valid.
What is replication?
400
1. Provide clear explanations (avoid slang, define terms and data) 2. Use off-the-Shelf data tools (that all stakeholders can use without specialized training) 3. Keep is simple and flexible (by collecting data at the lowest level possible – individual students) 4. Use visual displays (because a picture is worth a thousand words)
What are some strategies that can help principals use data more effectively?
400
The idea that once a decision or judgment has been made, the original thinking or estimate roots the decision firmly so adjustments are challenges or grudgingly accepted, even in light of new or contradictory information.
What is cognitive anchoring?
500
A quality of research in which multiple research studies in different contexts are done to find out the same results occur.
What is replication?
500
This form of a co-teaching is the second most common strategy where special and general educators jointly plan instruction, but the special educator focuses on re-teaching or reinforcing materials taught through differentiated instruction, curriculum accommodations and modifications for small groups.
What is alternative teaching?
500
Proven instructional practices have been examined by the larger educational community and have been validated by these.
What are scientific studies?
500
This essential “C” component of school is often referenced as an essential component of a successful school. This refers to the total environment of a school, the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and rules.
