Research Agenda

In collaboration with several members of the Evidence Project, we are excited to announce a research agenda that we hope will help instigate new work on COVID-19’s impacts on students, families, educators, and school systems.

The research agenda is the outgrowth of a set of working groups the Evidence Project convened with network members over the summer on the following topics: student and family well-being, student learning needs, education governance, resource allocation, and innovations in learning.

Across these topics, researchers highlighted (1) the need to understand what learning opportunities students have access to and how they are engaged in these opportunities, (2) the impact of innovations in learning on how resources are deployed in the system and who makes these decisions, and (3) the importance of moving beyond traditional measures to incorporate new assessments of student and community well-being.
