Aimed at    researchers who conduct and report education intervention studies, the purpose of the report is to stimulate and guide researchers to go beyond simply reporting statistics that represent group differences. With what is often very minimal additional effort, those statistics can be translated into forms that allow their magnitude and practical significance to be more readily understood by those who are interested in the intervention evaluation. ]]></description><pubDate>11/28/2012 9:06:30 AM</pubDate><link>http://ies.ed.gov/ncser/pubs/20133000/</link></item><item><title>NCSER Announces New FY 2012 Research and Research Training Grants</title><description><![CDATA[IES made a series of new research and training grant awards in June 2012.
