Appendix IV

Regional Education Laboratories

The Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) funds ten regional educational laboratories which work to help educators and policy makers solve education problems in their states and districts. The labs research education issues, print publications, and provide training programs to teachers and administrators. Each lab puts out a catalog of its publications, and provides training covering a wide range of topics such as teaching strategies, school improvement, and parental involvement. Catalogs and publications are available to anyone, regardless of region, and can be requested directly from the labs; other services (training programs, etc.) are region-specific, and must be accessed through district education officials.
