Now comes AERA's "Research Points," a four-page quarterly newsletter that offers a crisp summary of research around important policy issues. So far, this publication dedicated to "Essential Information for Education Policy" has covered class size, alignment of standards and tests, and most recently, boosting academic achievement of English Language Learners.
