Survey of Evidence in Education for Schools (SEE-S) Descriptive Report Elizabeth Farley-Ripple Sam Van Horne Kati Tilley Samantha Shewchuk Henry May Deborah Amsden Micklos Horatio Blackman University of Delaware University of Minnesota University of Pennsylvania October 2022 About the Center The Center for Research Use in Education is an Institute for Education Sciences-funded knowledge utilization center focused on rethinking research for schools (R4S) . Our mission is to expand the study of research use and produce a more holistic picture of what drives it, from the production of knowledge by researchers to the application of research in schools. We also seek to identify strategies that can make research more meaningful to classroom practice. At our center, we believe that education research is an important part of the educational process. We further believe that rigorous evidence, whether qualitative or quantitative, can foster better opportunities and outcomes for children by empowering educators, families, and communities with additional knowledge to inform better decision-making. For this reason, we seek to support strong ties between research and practice.
