Abstract
Social science has provided poor guidance for educational policymakers interested in improving student performance. While education research is a large and active field of scholarship, much of the literature ha s concentrated on influences beyond the control of policymakers. This paper explores the influences of realistic policy options. Several pol icies are identified that meet the criteria of a positive relationship with student performance and controllability by policymakers.
