Publisher's Synopsis
The federal government has a longstanding role in conducting education research and collecting education data, and the Department of Education's Institute of Education Services (IES) has a broad mission to provide this information to a wide variety of stakeholders. IES is Education's primary research and evaluation arm. This book examines the extent to which IES has demonstrated its ability to support high-quality research and fulfil its mission, the extent to which selected Education research and technical assistance groups disseminate relevant products to the education field, and how IES co-ordinates its activities with other relevant federal research agencies and within Education.
