Evidence for ESSA is a resource rating K-12 programs by strength of evidence.
Evidence for ESSA is a program directory run with Johns Hopkins that rates K-12 programs by evidence strength under federal standards. Reviews sort math, reading, and attainment programs into strong, moderate, and promising tiers for districts. Each entry summarizes qualifying studies, samples, and measured effects for procurement teams.
District leaders filter by grade, subject, and evidence tier to compare options before adoption. Developers submit studies for independent review against inclusion rules and effect criteria.
