Knowledge to Action

Achieving the Promise of Equal Educational Opportunity. The session is designed to highlight (1) shifts in our knowledge of the challenges to equal educational opportunity in light of neighborhood research and examination of neighborhood effects and (2) the uses and barriers to geospatial research in unpacking critical issues related to schools, students, and families. In alignment with the theme, the session will address both the current issues and approaches to change.

Other participants whom we hope will agree to participate on the panel/symposium are Mary Pattillo McCoy and Steve Raudenbush serving as chair and respondent.
