The U.S. Department of Education has launched a new Web site to provide
teachers, administrators and other educators with recommendations on
effective teaching practices and examples of possible ways to implement
those practices to help promote excellence in American education and
improve student achievement. The first in the series focuses on English
language learners. The new "Doing What Works" site,
<http://dww.ed.gov/>, offers a user-friendly interface to quickly locate
teaching practices that have been found effective by the department's
research arm, the Institute of Education Sciences, and similar
organizations. In addition, it cites examples of possible ways, although
not necessarily the only ways, this research may be used to help
students reach their academic potential.
