The Department of Education has revamped its What Works Clearinghouse Web site to make it more useful to policymakers and practitioners. The What Works project is aimed at vetting research on educational interventions and programs so that decisionmakers can make informed choices about what works, or is likely to work, in their own schools. The revamped Web site includes intervention reports that contain program descriptions, information on implementation costs, and ratings on program effectiveness in specific areas.
