I am delighted to see that our next article from The Wicked Problems Project is available open access since today. This research project is all about preparing students to face wicked problems which seems more urgent every day...

Three years ago, our grantee Results for America and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University launched the EdResearch for Recovery project to provide evidence-based guidance for education leaders during the pandemic. Now, as the nation’s schools shift their focus from immediate recovery to longer-term solutions to help all students succeed, there’s a new name and mission: EdResearch for Action, which aims to bridge the gap between #educationresearch and practical decision-making. New #EdResearch4Action evidence-based tools and resources include:  - An updated website featuring research briefs and resources to help education leaders improve outcomes - An Act on Evidence tool that can help school districts determine whether their existing programs align with evidence, and use what they learn to strengthen them - New and updated research briefs that reflect the latest research and the evolving needs of districts and schools

Data Coalition member Results for America and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University’s new EdResearch for Action initiative brings together education leaders, policymakers, and researchers to uncover the most effective, evidence-based strategies for improving education throughout the country.

What do school and university partners seek from collaborative engagement in education research? How do we design successful research partnerships, and what do we do when unexpected problems arise? This one-day forum will inspire and provoke professional discussion and expand education research networks. The program will feature a keynote address from Professor Mary Ryan (ACU), panel discussions featuring school- and university-based researchers, and roundtable discussions focused on provocations and case studies from practice. Who should register? Research leads in schools, university-based education researchers, P-12 teachers and school leaders from all school sectors seeking to establish research partnerships with university academics and other school partners. Cost: Free but registration is essential Click the link below to register now: https://ow.ly/r7Om50PymYN

Nearly three years ago, Results for America and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University launched the EdResearch for Recovery project to provide evidence-based guidance to help education leaders respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, as the nation’s schools shift their focus from immediate recovery to longer term solutions to help students succeed, they are updating their name and mission – to EdResearch for Action – to help state and local leaders address a wider set of education challenges.

Next week, my team will be hosting a webinar on the transition into upper secondary. We'll have some really interesting guest speakers from British Columbia, Lithuania and Sweden who will discuss and debate different policy approaches for managing the transition of young people into upper secondary. Upper secondary education plays a pivotal role in equipping young people with the knowledge and skills for the future while also orienting them towards further learning options that reflect their interests and ambitions. But what information should be used to guide their trajectories? And does academic achievement provide a roadmap, or does it inadvertently perpetuate social disparities? The webinar will be at 16:00 Paris time CET and you can register here: https://lnkd.in/e6yteENC If you're interested in the topic but can't make the webinar, check out the working paper by Anna Vitória Périco Santos on Managing Student Transitions into Upper Secondary Pathways: https://lnkd.in/e2DFKgG7

Nearly three years ago, Results for America and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University launched the EdResearch for Recovery project to provide evidence-based guidance to help education leaders respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, as the nation’s schools shift their focus from immediate recovery to longer term solutions to help students succeed, we are updating our name and our mission – to EdResearch for Action – to help state and local leaders address a wider set of education challenges. As part of this relaunch, we are sharing new evidence-based tools and resources, including: ➡➡ A new website that makes it easy to navigate our research briefs and all our resources to help education leaders improve outcomes ➡➡ A new Act on Evidence tool that can help school districts determine whether their existing programs align with evidence, and use what they learn to strengthen them ➡➡ New and updated research briefs — including an updated brief on reducing student absenteeism released this week — that reflect new research and the evolving needs of districts and schools We are also partnering with school districts to help them build programs grounded in evidence and measure their progress. We are hosting a fellowship program and workshop series to help researchers produce useful, actionable evidence. We will soon be releasing more new and updated research briefs – on topics requested by practitioners – to help education leaders deliver better results. #EdResearch4Action Take a look, there's so much good stuff: https://bit.ly/ed4action
