THE CENTER FOR RESEARCH USE IN EDUCATION IS “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.  






WHY RESEARCH USE?



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.   




USE OF RESEARCH EVIDENCE


INCREASE THE IMPACT OF YOUR RESEARCH:


STRATEGIES FOR KNOWLEDGE MOBILIZATION


FOR EDUCATION RESEARCHERS

CRUE has collaborated with the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness
(SREE) to host  Increase the Impact of Your Research, four virtual webinars for
education researchers. The sessions will include:
 * Evidence about Evidence Use: New Findings from a National Survey of Teachers
   and Administrators which will highlight the barriers and facilitators to
   successful use of research evidence by educators.  CRUE researchers Henry
   May, Elizabeth Farley-Ripple, Samantha Shewchuk, and Kati Tilley present
   findings from surveying over 4000 educators nationwide on their use of
   research in decision-making.
   
 * What is Knowledge Mobilization and What Does It Look Like? provides examples
   of tools and resources to support researchers in developing knowledge
   mobilizations strategies. Dr. Samantha Shewchuk and other acclaimed
   researchers share their knowledge mobilization strategies to increase the
   impact of their research.
 * Actionability and Compatibility: Meeting the Research Needs of Educators
   focuses on better understanding educator perspectives on education research. 
   Hear from a panel of educators about their research use practices and their
   perspectives on how researchers can produce and communicate research that
   better meets their needs. 
 * Leveraging the Intermediary Space: Connecting with Influential Organizations
   to Expand your Reach introduces representatives from key intermediary
   organizations to share their work linking research and practice and their
   need to collaborate with researchers.
