Center for Research in Educational Policy (CREP)
In August 2010, the Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) received a grant of more than $25 million from the U.S. Department of Education's Investing in Innovation (i3) program for a five-year study to validate its Leadership Assistance for Science Education Reform (LASER) model in three very diverse regions of the United States: rural North Carolina, northern New Mexico, and the Houston Independent School District (HISD). This document presents overall findings, conclusions, and recommendations in summary form based on analysis of all years of available quantitative and qualitative data.
