Submit a Study, Intervention, or Topic

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) strives to put evidence into the hands of educators, policymakers, researchers, and the public so that they can make choices about educational interventions (programs, products, practices, and policies) based on high-quality scientific research.

WWC Reports provide information on the evidence of the effectiveness of educational interventions and can be used to inform education decision-making, improve educational practices, and enhance student outcomes.

The WWC has announced topics for the WWC Reports. The topics chosen for systematic review reflect a wide range of our nation's most pressing education issues. These topics are:

The Character Education topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until September 15, 2005. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

The Dropout Prevention topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until March 31, 2006. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

  • Early Childhood Education—Interventions for Improving Preschool Children's School Readiness
    Curricula and practices designed for use in center-based settings with 3- to 5-year-old children who are not yet in kindergarten, with a primary focus on cognitive and language competencies associated with school readiness (language, literacy, math, and cognition). The review includes center-based early childhood education interventions designed to improve the school readiness skills of preschool children with developmental delays or diagnosed disabilities. These may be inclusive interventions used with all children or targeted interventions designed specifically for children with developmental delays or diagnosed disabilities.
    Early Childhood Education abstract

The Early Childhood Education topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until February 28, 2006. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

The English Language Learning topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until October 14, 2005. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

The Elementary School Math topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until April 1, 2006. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

The Middle School Math topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until October 31, 2005. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

  • Reading—Interventions for Beginning Reading
    Reading interventions for students in grades K-3 (or ages 5-8) that are intended to increase skills in
    alphabetics (phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, print awareness and phonics), reading fluency, comprehension (vocabulary and reading comprehension), or general reading achievement. Reading abstract

The Beginning Reading topic review is underway. For this review cycle, the WWC accepted study and/or intervention submissions until October 31, 2005. Studies and interventions submitted after this date will be included in the next review cycle.

A topic is defined by the intended outcome (for example, improving literacy skills), the intended population (for example, elementary school students from low-income backgrounds), and the types of interventions (for example, particular programs, products, practices, or policies) that may produce the intended outcome for that population.
 

Nomination Type

We welcome your suggestions for specific interventions related to current WWC Reports, studies or study citations on the effects of educational interventions within these topics, and/or nominations for other interventions, studies, or future topics that you would like to see considered for review by the WWC. You can also nominate a specific intervention, such as a particular curriculum, rather than an entire class of interventions, such as math curricula.
 

What information would you like to submit to the WWC at this time?

A specific intervention (program, product, practice, or policy) that could be reviewed for a current or future WWC Report.

An actual study or citation of a study on the effects of one or more interventions within a current or future WWC Report topic.

A nomination for a future WWC Report topic.
