A collection of short briefs covering P-16 education equity issues and perspectives in California
EdTrust-West seeks submissions from researchers, academics, and scholar-practitioners to inform our Research In Brief series – a collection of short briefs covering P-16 education equity issues and perspectives in California. The series is intended to provide an outlet to share findings and insights with policymakers and a statewide network of education advocates.
Research in Brief submissions should emphasize an evidence-based connection to policy or practice and provide readers with actionable recommendations and next steps to address a specific education equity issue.
