Abstract: The Southwestern Regional 

Educational Laboratory (SWREL) has 

been tasked with establishing a baseline 

for SWREL performance and identifying 

the educational needs (Pre-K through 

Higher Education) of constituents 

within its five state region. The 

respondents will consist of parents, 

business leaders, and educators (e.g., 

teachers, principals, testing directors, 

etc.) from Arkansas, Louisiana, New 

Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The 

information obtained in this project will 

provide a landscape of the region. It will 

also identify the educational research 

needs of SWREL constituents and create 

insights needed to most efficiently serve 

those constituents. In addition, it will 

identify satisfaction levels with current 

research available, identify educational 

issues facing SWREL constituents, and 

identify unique areas of technical 

assistance most needed.
