Scientifically Based Research In 2002, the U. S. Department of Education established the What Works Clearinghouse “to provide educators, policymakers, researchers, and the public with a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education” (from “Who We Are” on the Clearinghouse site). The site is still developing and expanding; see http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/
