Bridging the Lab-to-Classroom Gap with Inclusive R&D

Description:

How can education research and development bridge the gap between the lab and the classroom? By being inclusive of education practitioners every step of the way. Too often, even when R&D priorities and the field’s needs are aligned, a lack of ongoing and authentic engagement in the R&D process creates a “last mile” gap that limits the impact of high-quality R&D. Promising practices and tools do not consistently make their way into classrooms to benefit students. In this session, hear from inclusive R&D experts and learn policy solutions for creating an R&D ecosystem that truly works for kids.
