Projects & Initiatives
AdvancED Equity supports researchers, policymakers, and educational practitioners to use our research and data to develop evidence-informed solutions to improve educational equity.
In an increasingly polarized, multiracial educational landscape in the US, education policy and research that centers civil rights protections is ever more crucial to foster equitable student experiences in K-12 schools. Through this inaugural initiative, the AdvancED Equity team will inform research, policy, and practice that centers civil rights policies and enforcement in the US through three interrelated aims:
Conference for interdisciplinary agenda setting
Harmonization and dissemination of shared public data resources from the Office for Civil Rights
Analysis of historic civil rights data
