Tilling Fertile Soil

Abstract
This article describes how the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative Extension Service (CES) might serve as a model for improving the dissemination of education research and development results. It is based on a paper prepared for the House Subcommittee on Select Education in the U.S. Congress, to assist the reauthorization of the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) in the U.S. Department of Education. After reviewing the distinctive aspects of each dissemination system, the author lists various features of CES that might be replicated and others that should be avoided.
