Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

For over a decade, the Ontario Ministry of Education has developed a Research and Evaluation Strategy fostering research collaboration through networking and partnerships between policy makers, practitioners and researchers to address priority education needs. One major initiative has been the establishment of the Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research (KNAER) to mobilize research and knowledge in order to improve educational practices and student outcomes. KNAER has evolved to champion thematic knowledge networks that focus on building connections and collaboration through communities of practice across Ontario. Four separate Networks have been established:
Equity Knowledge Network;
Indigenous Education Knowledge Network;
Knowledge Network for Student Well-Being; and
Mathematics Knowledge Network.
These Networks aspire to develop knowledge from a wide range of research and professional practice and to democratize engagement with knowledge through multimodal narratives including a range of active participants and intended audiences. However, each Network is highly unique in its purpose and approaches and distinctive in its leadership, ways of working and implementation.
