Phase 2 of the National Research Mentoring Network initiative will see Christine Pfund leading the coordination center and Angela Byars-Winston heading up a nationwide research project.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the gathering will offer guided tours of UW−Madison schools and colleges, a keynote address from Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes and a day of action planning aimed at making change at home.
Opened as a preschool in 2015 with a unique two-generation approach to education, today One City Schools plans to expand to grade six. To prepare, the school reached out to WCER’s early childhood and evaluation experts. Working together, they won a $1 million grant--enough for teacher training and to create the documentation and evaluation needed to run an excpetional school.
Education researchers from the flagship universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota win funding from the U.S. Department of Education to advance evidence-based improvements in the academc achievement of elementary and secondary school students in both states.
From rural schools to the community-school model to the school experience of Wisconsin’s Native American youth, WCER researchers lent their expertise to a recent public hearing on the way education affects health outcomes.
