Doing What Works (DWW) is a Web site sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. The goal of DWW is to create an online library of resources that may help primarily K-12 teachers, schools, districts, states, and technical assistance providers implement research-based instructional practice. Most resources are adaptable for adult educators. Click on the link below to access the clearinghouse.

The Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education (ACVE) closed its doors on December 31, 2003. Over the years, the ERIC developed and produced a rich collection of publications pertaining to research and practice in adult, career, and vocational education.

You may search for archived documents on the CALPRO mirror of the former ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education. Click on the link below to search the archives.

Established in 2002, the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is a central and trusted source of scientific evidence for what works in education.

An initiative of the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences, the WWC:

• — Produces user–friendly practice guides for educators that address instructional challenges with research–based recommendations for K–12 schools and classrooms;
• — Assesses the rigor of research evidence on the effectiveness of interventions (programs, products, practices, and policies), giving educators the tools to make informed decisions;
• — Develops and implements standards for reviewing and synthesizing education research; and
• — Provides a public and easily accessible registry of education evaluation researchers to assist schools, school districts, and program developers with designing and carrying out rigorous evaluations.
