Regional Educational Laboratory

Regional Educational Laboratories (RELs) are organizations in the United States that provide research, analysis, and technical assistance to improve education. Funded by the federal government, each REL serves a specific geographic area and works closely with schools, teachers, and policymakers. They focus on generating trustworthy research on effective teaching methods, learning strategies, and educational policies. By sharing findings and providing tools, RELs aim to enhance student outcomes and help educational institutions make data-driven decisions that foster better learning environments.
