This document records testimony from a hearing held to examine strengthening education research and privacy protections to better serve students. Education research has long played an important role in our Nation's classrooms. States and school districts use research to identify teaching and learning strategies that improve classroom instruction and those that do not. Education research also provides parents, teachers, school leaders, and policymakers with the information they need to determine if Federal programs are delivering real results for students and taxpayers. For more than 40 years, the Federal Government has partnered with the private sector and State and local leaders to help facilitate this research.
