Shifting Power in Educational R&D

Description:

Shifting Power centers the experiences, points of view, and curiosities of Black and Latinx educators to inform practice and innovation, in particular with/for Black and Latinx youth. However, educational research is typically driven by (largely white) researchers and institutions. Too often findings do not return to serve the very educators and students who informed the research. This initiative is working to literally shift the power dynamics inherent to education R&D. Hear what we’ve learned.
