The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) is a cornerstone of evidence-based education, providing critical research, data, and tools that help schools improve student outcomes. But recent funding cuts could leave states and districts without the knowledge they need to make smart, student-centered decisions.
As our Director of Research, Chase Nordengren, puts it: “We need more research to know what works, for whom, under what conditions. That’s what IES does. And if we can’t do that, we’re stuck with gut decisions — and that’s not good enough for kids.”
Eliminating IES means:
- Fewer research grants to find what truly helps students
- Less data to guide education policy
- Fewer tools to help schools close learning gaps
Our students deserve better. Let’s protect the research that helps them thrive.
