Shaping a Better Future for All Students: A Forum on Educational Equity

States, districts, and community leaders face increasing pressure to identify and implement improvement strategies that address equity in K-12 education, particularly with the pandemic spotlighting acute racial disparities in student achievement and access to resources. Ensuring that all students have access to a quality education, one that enables them to grow and thrive as adults, is our collective responsibility.

Join AIR at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Conference on Friday, April 12 from 9-10:30 a.m. ET for a panel discussion with researchers, research funders, and industry leaders who are investing resources in equity-focused, data-driven initiatives, programs, and interventions that better connect educational attainment to workforce outcomes. With no shortage of challenges facing young learners and their journey into adulthood, improving access to and use of timely, relevant, high-quality data and evidence is key to improving learning outcomes and advancing educational equity.

This event is open to all AERA conference attendees. If you have questions about this event, please email Carmen Ferro at AIR.
