The Education Agency as Research Intermediary

Matthew B. Courtney

Journal of Educational Issues, 2020, vol. 6, issue 1, 19

Abstract: Since the late 1970s, researchers and policy makers have debated the role of research in policy making. Since the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, education policy has experienced a renewed interest in this topic. ESSA presents a rigorous framework and set of requirements for research use in educational decision making. This paper presents an evidence-informed model that education agencies (EAs) can follow to support schools in the implementation of ESSA’s evidence-based practice provisions. The model includes three key activities that EAs should engage in to become effective research intermediaries- (1) model effective research use, (2) build capacity in educators, and (3) promote action research.
