A study is making the rounds that details a few of the best ways to improve student achievement. It also touches on the least useful methods.
Beth Dichter's insight:
How can we best improve student achievement? This infographic states that it has looked at "over 50,000 studies including over 240 million students!" The work was done by one small organization and aside from the infographic it is difficult to determine the studies used. However the findings are worth looking at.

While browsing some of the terrific resources at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, I happened across a fabulous list of useful links and resources that I wanted to pass on to Edudemic readers. This list starts with Adult Literacy and ends with Testing and Standards. It is maintaned by the Gutman Library Research Services staff and Harvard, and may become one of your Go To lists when you need to find resources quickly (esp. if related to education).
