The research team will help wdmhs assess previously-collected data on teachers’ current and prospective use of the bennett school; engage in archival research to collect ‘learning stories’ from the bennett school and surrounding communities; create and disseminate two or three place-based and inquiry-based modules to central iowa teachers; host a professional development session around these modules; and support the development of surveys of teacher and student learning from these g the excellence gap: understanding how to promote high achievement with students from underserved pal investigators: carla b. The purpose of this research is to (a) identify risk factors for students who do not complete the intervention and (b) inform the development of interventions to mitigate these risk factors. These findings will then be used to leverage additional support for hsta and the continuation of research activity, specifically al engagement in a large, urban school district for students with disabilities, english language learners, and students at risk for academic pal investigator: elizabeth d. The proposed project will extend this research via a satisfaction survey of the implementation of the php project from administrators, fss, teachers, and parents. Through open-ended surveys, the researchers will identify the needs of teachers and administrators and work with the district to design necessary professional developments and make recommendations for php implementation. The education and training (e&t) committee of prism is responsible for preparing, planning and delivering a variety of educational trainings related to the needs and experiences of queer youth. Prism’s e&t committee will conduct interviews and focus groups with more vulnerable members of the larger lgbtq community and create materials that the youth educators can share through their educational trainings. This project will draw on this relationship as it prepares youth to engage in direct research aimed at sharing the un-voiced experiences of marginalized youth with social workers, psychologists, teachers, and others involved with youth. The materials created will be shared at a community-wide education event hosted by prism e& of dcps study abroad on student engagement, learning, and civic pal investigator: laura engel (the george washington university). Entity: district of columbia public 2016, the district of columbia public schools (dcps) launched an innovative global education program, sending 380 8th and 11th grade students and 44 educators overseas on fully funded study abroad experiences, with plans underway to send 500 students abroad in the summer 2017. In support of dcps goals and needs, the pi serves as the lead researcher conducting annual case studies to determine the impacts of the study abroad experience on student engagement, learning, and civic identity or worldview. Key aspects of this work include: 1) designing, developing and implementing an annual study of the dcps study abroad program; 2) providing syntheses of research relevant to the dcps global education advisory committee; and 3) disseminating results of the research to help inform future dcps global education initiatives and address a notable gap in studies of global education and study abroad among secondary school equity and diversity (read) curriculum: grassroots collectives for social pal investigators: mona m. The researchers will analyze field notes, observations, and student work samples to recommend best practice strategies for racial justice and to determine what additional support may be necessary for the program to achieve the desired outcomes of empowerment and racial empathy. Entity: college college factory is a non-profit organization in athens, georgia that has the mission to build upon the existing college-going culture in the community by increasing out-of-school opportunities for youth and their families to prepare for and enroll in higher education. In 2017, the college factory launched a new program, go succeed, that matches eleventh grade students with a postsecondary education coach, a trained volunteer who is a college student and/or local community member, to provide postsecondary education mentoring through regular one-on-one meetings until the student’s high school graduation.

For this project, the principal investigator will: (a) develop formative assessment instruments to provide ongoing feedback for coaches to improve their advising and to provide ongoing feedback to improve the workshops, as well as develop formative assessment instruments that focus on student participants’ postsecondary education knowledge; (b) develop summative assessment instruments to understand the effectiveness of go succeed; and (c) design and implement an evaluation study of the newly instituted go succeed program, using summative assessment data, focus group interviews with student participants, one-on-one interviews with postsecondary education coaches, and field observations of the postsecondary education upting the internalization of pal investigator: leigh patel (boston college). Through this evaluation, youth researchers from both sites will be coached in answering: what components of the social location space are essential for an intersectional analysis of structural inequality, and what components can be altered to meet a community’s needs? The research will be conducted at nffs summer camps primarily using qualitative methods, including interviews with students, parents, volunteers, and teachers, as well as observations and document analysis. Entity: federation for children with special the individuals with disabilities education act (idea), all parents of eligible students with disabilities have the right to collaborate as equal members of educational teams in the development and implementation of their children’s individualized education programs (iep). However, extant research has consistently shown that the federal mandate is not being met for all families. With this project, the research team will collaborate with the rdc to conduct a needs assessment. This assessment will enable the msu research team to build their knowledge of the rdc’s summer school program, as well as the broader refugee community, and establish a foundation for a long-term, reciprocal research-practice partnership. Research suggests that access to the general education curriculum through inclusive programs has several potential educational and social benefits, yet lower academic achievement among students with disabilities and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds persists. Through surveys, the researchers will identify the needs of teachers and administrators and work with the district to design necessary professional developments and supports. Bilingual kids’ café: addressing nutrition education, food insecurity, and food literacies in a north georgia pal investigators: denise dávila (the university of nevada las vegas) and stephanie jones (the university of georgia). The primary objectives are to understand how to engage youth in productive nutrition and health education learning experiences and to document the impact that food-inclusive programs have on children in a low-income african american and hispanic/latino neighborhood. She will implement an intensive summer bilingual kids' cafe program and will collaborate with a research assistant to continue with weekly after-school classes once school resumes. This project seeks to answer the following research questions: (1) what needs must be met by preschool children before they enter kindergarten? The project will include interviews with instructional leaders in 22 local public and private elementary schools, focus groups and the analysis of official documents in order to answer the research questions.

Entities: creative corridor center for equity (c3e), iowa city community school district, cedar rapids community school district, linn-mar community school district, and waterloo community school project will support research for the creative corridor center for equity and four school districts that are partnering on their focus project. Quantitative results from the effective behavior support (ebs) will provide an overview of the research problem and qualitative results from open-ended questions and follow-up focus groups will assist with explaining pbis needs. After reviewing the needs assessment results, the research team will create a comprehensive professional development plan and locate or develop tools for measuring the success of the professional development program. Rab sponsors the youth bike summit, an annual three‐day national conference that brings together stakeholders – including educators, students, and policymakers – to engage around youth, bicycles, education, and advocacy. This project will explore the impact of participation in the youth bike summit and related local activities through an ethnographic research project led by youth and informed by transformative critical approaches. A team of youth researchers from ten organizations around the country will be identified and trained in ethnographic research methods. Entity: arizona department of address increasing public concern about the high turnover rate of teachers in arizona schools and districts and the challenges this lack of stability creates for schools, the arizona department of education (ade) created the educator recruitment and retention task force. In its initial report, the task force identified a need for additional, high-quality research on this issue. The research team will conduct a systematic analysis of teacher retention and attrition patterns using longitudinal data collected by ade over the last five years, build a model of teacher retention based on that analysis, and provide policy-relevant recommendations. The research team will also create a usable database that can be updated annually to allow ade, the research team, and partner researchers to track changes in patterns of teacher retention and attrition over time and to evaluate programs aimed at increasing teacher retention. The collaborative research team will develop measures to collect pre-, mid-way, and post-data from 20 girls participating in the program during the academic year, their teachers and their parents; will conduct focus groups with up to 10 and collect follow-up survey data from up to 40 graduates of the program; and the university researchers will conduct formative and summative assessments of the program practices.

Through the use of focus groups throughout the county, the researchers will identify the needs of teachers and then work with the district to design necessary professional developments and supports. Entity: research on refugee teens emphasizes their struggles and needs, particularly regarding their marginalization in school and society. Two gaps remain in the research: (1) how recently resettled refugee teens navigate their first years in the u. Further data collection and analysis will identify areas for refinement, and journey coordinators will implement with less researcher support in spring. Few initiatives exist to support these children and their families, and little is known about if and how programs can be designed to improve educational outcomes for such youth. Ff) supports children of incarcerated parents through family prison visitation, youth leadership programs, and after-school tutoring, with the aim of improving personal and educational outcomes, but has had limited opportunity to gather and utilize data about their impact on current youth and alumni. The research team will work with ff staff to collect, analyze, and make use of youth’s stories. This project will: (1) use portraiture methodology to collect portraits of ff alumni and current participants to document foreverfamily’s impact on youth’s educational outcomes and sense of empowerment; (2) compare this qualitative data to existing quantitative data to create improved evaluation measures and programming for foreverfamily; and (3) support development of a digital portrait archive that combines narrative and visual portraits, peer-reviewed manuscripts, and applications for larger grants to fund long-term organizational gyo community voices pal investigator: conra d. The research project is centered on lifting the voices of teachers of color to speak the truth about the ways in which they work to be change agents in their communities. This research study challenges this silencing by collecting their testimonies to combat deficit perspectives on the value community-based teachers of color add to the teaching ning navajo knowledge for navajo youth and pal investigator: tiffany s. The navajo studies conference, inc (nsci) is a non-profit organization, which coordinates symposiums and conferences to share research, knowledge, traditional skills, and perspectives of navajo people and their allies in an effort to inspire the critical consciousness and awareness of navajo people toward positive transformative change. Through a phenomenological methodology, this project will 1) collect the stories, research, and perspectives of the lived experiences of navajo people shared at the 20th navajo studies conference, 2) analyze the material with the nsci board to identify themes of knowledge shared, and 3) translate the material thematically organized into a curriculum package of print and digital material for schools and communities across the navajo nation. Entity: parents for inclusive 2010, the new york city department of education introduced a set of measures directly targeted at the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education environments. Parents for inclusive education (pie) works to ensure that all students with disabilities in new york city public schools have access to meaningful inclusive educational opportunities. For this project, pie and the researcher will jointly conduct interviews with school leaders, families and teachers from 5-7 schools selected on the basis of collaboratively determined criteria. Pie expects that such information will equip and empower families to negotiate with school leaders to ensure that their children with disabilities have access to inclusive educational ping strategies for using early warning indicators to improve college readiness in st. The goal of this project is to assist the district to develop the early warning indicators system and effectively implement the tool by providing research expertise.

Entity: chicago metro history education examines the role networks of student interactions with educators and community members play in generating academic results for high school students taking part in history fair competitions. The results  will be used to directly inform cmhec’s work as well as history fair competitions across the country through research reports focused on: social interactions that support success in history fair; student utilization of outside-of-school resources to support success in history fair, and; a comparative examination of how demographically different students utilize social interactions and outside-of-school g emerging bilingual elementary students in a small urban community: an evaluation of a literacy-based after-school pal investigator: william t. In particular, they want to find out if the program model that is currently being implemented is aligned with research and best practices. The findings will also help education professionals nationwide who work with emerging bilingual students understand the benefits and challenges associated with establishing a literacy-based after-school cts for 2014 ing the effectiveness of a parent leadership support training (plst) in special pal investigator: meghan m. Parents of children with disabilities want to partner with the school in order for their children to receive appropriate educational services. Nationally, agencies are developing training programs so individuals can learn about special education and positive parent-school communication. This project seeks to understand how parent leaders support marginalized families and whether, as a result of working with parent leaders, parents are more empowered, knowledgeable, and satisfied with special education services. Formal measures will be used to determine whether parent leaders increase parental knowledge, empowerment, and satisfaction with educational ng data driven capacity in ost programs: nyu and chcf research pal investigators: edward fergus and mellie torres (new york university). Chcf) is dedicated to combining education and advocacy to expand opportunities for children and families and strengthen the voice of the latino community.

Though chcf maintains a long history of providing out-of-school time (ost) services, chcf has not been able to ascertain research expertise to assist in building the capacity of monitoring ost impact. The research team will support chcf implementation of these measures and build their capacity to outline the impact model of their ost programs at an elementary school and a middle school in bronx, ant families and educational access in a linguistically and culturally diverse faith pal investigators: maría paula ghiso (teachers college, columbia university) and gerald campano (university of pennsylvania). This collaborative research explores how indonesian and latino immigrant families, affiliated with a community center in a diverse faith context (aquinas center), work across cultural and linguistic boundaries to understand and address educational issues that impact all their children. The project has two broad goals: (1) to assist the aquinas center in better understanding the factors that inhibit or support indonesian and latino families’ efforts to navigate their children’s education; and (2) to provide opportunities for participatory research that can help families at the aquinas center co-inquire into issues affecting each community as well as identify shared experiences, concerns, and possible networks of support. This project will draw on practitioner research and participatory action research methodologies that foreground shared decision making and the perspectives, experiences, and goals of community members themselves. The intercultural inquiry group will design and conduct workshops to disseminate the insights of the collaborative research and facilitate educational access for neighborhood ting community integration in a new immigrant destination: a research and service partnership between the pennsylvania state university and the hazleton integration pal investigator: megan hopkins (the pennsylvania state university). The goals of this research and service partnership are fourfold: (1) to describe program demographics, (2) to assess how the program benefits participants academically and socially, (3) to examine the degree to which the program is working to achieve the center’s goal of integration, and (4) to use data to inform the development of the afterschool program and the design of collaborative programs that include the local schools, the community center, and the university. Members of the partnership will engage with program participants through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and program observations to understand how the program supports their academic and social needs and affords reciprocal linguistic and cultural learning role of mexican culture and spanish language maintenance in the educational needs and advancement of mexican 1. Entity: association of mexicans and friends of mexico in the project seeks to study and understand the role that mexican culture and spanish language maintenance plays in the educational needs and advancement of mexican 1. The proposed one year mixed methods study will: 1) identify who such youth are and what they identify with, 2) what their educational needs are, 3) how they are experiencing being tracked into university, general, or vocational education, 4) what their social and linguistic integration into dutch society is like, and 5) what the role of mexican culture and use of spanish is in their lives. The findings will reflect the types of educational opportunities, obstacles, and challenges faced by these youth will inform the development of mexican cultural and linguistic maintenance programs and collecting asian american refugee stories (cars) pal investigator: samuel d. Entity: asian pacific development e youth exhibit relatively low levels of success in education compared to their peers. While refugees from the asian nations of burma and bhutan are among the most rapidly growing refugee communities in the united states, they are virtually invisible and voiceless in education research and discourse. The collecting asian american refugee stories (cars) project is designed to provide research-based support for the asian pacific development center (apdc) by generating increased understandings of these asian american refugee communities in the united states and utilizing that knowledge to improve apdc programs and services that are designed to support the youth and families within these communities. This project will incorporate qualitative narrative inquiry research methods and digital media to excavate the voices of 24 asian american refugee youth and parents from bhutan and burma residing in the denver area, co-construct stories that shed light on their lives, document and disseminate those stories, and utilize those narratives to inform the development of apdc programs and services aimed at supporting these refugee populations. A research team from the university of pennsylvania graduate school of education will partner with bpsos-delaware valley to train journey home participants on youth participatory action research, provide ongoing support and technical assistance to the staff and youth participants in data collection and analysis, and assess how the journey home model, particularly its emphasis on oral history and community assessment, influences the lived experience of vietnamese youth as political actors. Participating high school students will spend approximately 20 hours a week for 6 weeks (1) researching the recent history of migration and race relations in philadelphia, (2) conducting oral histories with family members, and (3) designing and executing a comprehensive assessment of priorities and issues facing philadelphia’s vietnamese community.

Entity: sauti yetu girls educational and leadership research study will address how the sauti yetu’s girl’s educational and leadership initiative (geli) supports the literacy development of african immigrant girls who are identified as english language learners (ells) in new york city schools, and a subpopulation of ells identified as having interrupted formal education (sife). Through written documentation, individual and group interviews, and program observation, as well as the literature on literacy and culturally relevant pedagogy, members of the research partnership will examine three approaches that geli has implemented to address academic and social supports for the literacy development of african immigrant girls. Ensuing reports and workshops may also draw greater attention to the literacy needs of smaller but growing culturally and linguistically diverse language communities which speak languages that do not meet demographic thresholds for bilingual services in ting and sustaining educational change: implementing the fair education act and seth’s y investigator: elizabeth meyer (california polytechnic state university). Entity: san luis obispo county office of research project will identify and address the barriers and supports related to the implementation of two new laws requiring reforms to curriculum and school policy in san luis obispo county schools. In 2011, the california legislature passed two laws, the fair education act (sb 48) and seth’s law (ab 9), which address important issues related to creating safe and inclusive school environments. The fair education act amends the state education code to require the inclusion of lgbt people, pacific islanders, and people with disabilities in the k‐12 social sciences curriculum. This research project is designed to work with educators to identify and address the barriers and supports related to these new laws in order to provide better support for their effect of research experience-based professional development on teacher efficacy, motivation, knowledge calibration, and perception of inquiry y investigator: erin e. Entity: loudon county public e education reform documents have highlighted the need for more inquiry-based teaching for over 20 years, but little has changed in the majority of classrooms in the united states. This project will measure the effect of research experience-based professional development (pd) in loudon county public schools and examine multiple measures across time of teacher efficacy, motivation, calibration of content knowledge, and perception of inquiry teaching. The multi-year pd program provided teachers research experience with the support of a scientist, aided teachers in an independent research project in their content area, and required teachers to develop curriculum related to their research experience for secondary students. Prior research indicated that teachers reported high motivation and task value and changed their cognitive strategies due to the pd. The current project has the potential to better articulate the effect of pd on critical components involved in teacher acquisition of science content and pedagogical content knowledge and to inform research experience-based pd programs in the tion and assessment of the avance parent-child education y investigator: rick sperling (st.
