Children's
Achievement: What Does the
Evidence Say About Teachers, Pre-K Programs,
and Economic Policies
As the push for—and debate over—evidence-based interventions
continues in the field of education, three national experts from
Northwestern University’s Institute for Policy Research take
stock of what the best available evidence-based research can tell
us about those programs and policies that work, including programs
one might not necessarily associate with improving children’s
academic achievement.
