Ed-Polliwog studies and addresses questions such as:
- What kind of school system best serves students in the 21 century?
- How can education policy and practice be more firmly grounded in scientific research?
- How can test scores be interpreted and used correctly and fairly to make important decisions about students and schools?
- How can the growing body of knowledge about how people learn be applied more effectively in classrooms?
- How can reading difficulties be prevented?
- How can schools help motivate high school students to learn?
- What are the most effective ways to prepare and develop teachers?
Ed-Polliwog promotes evidence-based policy analysis to improve education for all. Through its boards, study committees, and advisory councils, Ed-Polliwog brings together national, state, and local leaders from education, academia, business, and government to address critical issues in education research, policy, and practice on its blog forum. We also create studies, reports, workshops, websites, and other activities to help inform many important issues facing education today, including standards, testing, teaching, and the improvement of education research.
