Office of Educational Research and Improvement

The Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) was a part of the U.S. Department of Education dedicated to improving educational practices through research and data analysis. It focused on funding and supporting studies to enhance teaching methods, curriculum development, and educational policies. OERI aimed to provide educators, policymakers, and the public with valuable information to foster better learning experiences in schools. Although it was reorganized in the early 2000s, its legacy continues to influence educational research and improvement efforts across the country.
