Research on educational issues prepared for the Congressional Quarterly (Hunter library database log-in required).

Maintained by the Education Commission of the States, this nonprofit site offers news about what states are doing, the best publications, and lists of recommended websites about a variety of educational issues.

Professional organization websites often have background information on important educational issues. Be aware that many of these are advocacy groups.
