What works in education? Are there any clear signs of effective outcomes measures?
I've touched on education in a few posts (see "Backstory" below), with a general them of "we're not going to educate our way out of this mess. I'm looking in particular for pointers on school quality and what does (and doesn't) work in improving the results of educational systems. I'm looking for both direct responses and pointers to theory / studies / literature on educational quality.
Briefly:
- Is there any indication of methods, environments, or other interventions which improve educational outcomes persistently and over time?...
