The Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University has launched an education research website in an effort to make research and best practices accessible to educators and policymakers at all levels.

Usable Knowledge is an online resource that features interviews with and discussion "among Harvard researchers and their co-investigators elsewhere about new research, books and best practices," Inside Higher Ed reported.

"[It's] a project devoted to disseminating the research that's conducted here to those working in the field,"James Ryan, dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, told The Harvard Gazette.

The site will provide smart, practical and timely content relating to both K-12 and higher education. The content will highlight the researcher of Harvard Graduate School of Education faculty.

"The goal is to put that knowledge directly into the hands of practitioners who can use it to make a difference in their classrooms, schools, districts, universities, and communities," according to the Usable Knowledge website.

Current offerings include a discussion about remediation with Academic Dean Bridget Terry Long, a roundtable discussion about Common Core's implementation process, and suggestions from Harvard's Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education regarding "how to make the tenure and promotion process clearer and less 'painful' for faculty members."

Founded in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education is grounded in the belief that education is the "most pressing issue of our time, and that research-based education policy and practice have the power to create a more just and prosperous society," according to its website.

The school's faculty, students and alumni produce research in fields as diverse as the moral development of children, international education policy, organizational leadership, neuroscience and cognitive development, and the role of the arts in schools.
