Session 1. RFTs in Context
What is the role of RFTs in research and research methods? And how are
they implemented in social settings, including educational sites? Two lead
presentations will place the role of RFTs in context for the day's discussion.

38 IMPLEMENTING RANDOMIZED FIELD TRIALS IN EDUCATION
Session 2. RFTs in Educational Settings: Lessons Learned
This session will explore implementation issues associated with RFTs in
educational settings, with a focus on how implementation influences the
provision of education (e.g., student access to interventions, teacher/
administrator workloads) as well as research process and products (e.g.,
design features, data collection, nature of inferences). Discussions of three
studies--led by researcher/policymaker/practitioner teams--will address
these issues by describing relevant political, policy, legal, and ethical
contexts, outlining research questions and methods, and participant
recruitment, costs, and attrition.
Committee Moderator: Jack Fletcher

Session 3. Implications for Research & Practice
Given the current push for more RFTs in federal education law, what do
these implementation issues mean for education and education research?
Experts will address this question with respect to a handful of key
stakeholder groups: education researchers, states, urban districts, and
student populations who have been traditionally underserved.
