Abstract
The papers in this session explore the application of justice-driven improvement science as a mechanism for addressing inequities in educational systems, specifically through the lens of doctoral research, teacher preparation, and leadership development in rural contexts. Findings suggest that improvement science must be coupled with deeper engagement with equity, inclusion, and racial justice while emphasizing the importance of practical tools, reflective coaching, and community collaboration.
