Graduate Student Council Division L Fireside Chat. Intersection of Policy Praxis: Perspectives From a Chicago Context

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

As our Twitter feeds are continuously announcing new policies and regulations affecting countless schools, children, and teachers, Division L is hosting a fireside chat focused to better illuminate the cycle connecting research, policy, and practice. The chat will feature speakers who specialize in one of these three areas, but who also work collaboratively in these spaces. Especially in this day and age with debates over education and schools driving much of the national political discourse, this will be a rare opportunity to hear from all three perspectives, better understand the nuances of different roles, and conceptualize the entire process as a cycle.
