Criticality, Justice, and Liberation in Improvement Science (Table 1)

Sat, April 26, 8:00 to 9:30am MDT (8:00 to 9:30am MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Ballroom Level, Four Seasons Ballroom 2-3

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Despite its takeup in schools and districts, improvement science has been critiqued as overly technical, underwhelming in its humanizing of minoritized students, and not conducive to justice. The purpose of this session is to engage these interrogations and construct new lenses, practices, and frameworks that seek to center justice and attend to issues of identity. Each of the papers in this session seek to interrogate improvement science, surface its shortcomings in its features and enactment as it pertains to achieving justice, and chart a path forward for a justice-focused, liberatory, critical improvement science in education that aims to move towards the kinds of just educational renewal that AERA seeks to lift up in the 2025 annual meeting.
