Is there a flagship example of how any DOE research has substantively improved outcomes in American schooling? Ideally with cost of study, cost to implement, and some metric around outcomes for students.
That’s a tall order, which isn’t to say it’s not effective but it is to say just how much research is conducted over the past 50 years using DOEs data. We’re talking statistical proof that preschool works, that poverty hurts achievement way more than you’d think (and why), how TV impacts test scores, and so on.
They have studies that follow kids from birth into adulthood that give us the only direct look into long term outcomes of various upbringings. I used it in my dissertation to show that even with college, “elites” will make a lot more money after graduation due to school selection, even controlling for student aptitude on tests and other merit metrics.
