The 10 regional educational laboratories, supported by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), provide research and development support to help educators, policymakers, and communities improve schools, and to help students attain their full potential. The laboratories work to ensure that lessons about school reform developed or learned in one site can be applied elsewhere, and that everyone involved in educational improvement will have access to the best available research, knowledge from practice, and exemplary and promising programs.
The laboratories are expected to pay particular attention to rural areas and districts and schools that serve high concentrations of economically disadvantaged students. The laboratories also network so that their knowledge, experience, and expertise in developing and delivering products and services may benefit educators nationally.
