NIJ-Day: School Safety Research and Evaluation: What Have We Learned? What Questions Remain?

Thu, Nov 17, 2:00 to 3:20pm, International 3, International Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Since 2014, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has made an unprecedented level of investment in research and evaluation studies to improve knowledge on what works to keep K-12 schools and students safe and identify the root causes and consequences of school violence. With approximately 100 studies coming to conclusion in recent years, NIJ has sought to aggregate and disseminate findings from these studies. This aggregation effort is intended to assess what we have learned, help policymakers more readily use this knowledge and to identify outstanding research questions. This session highlights key efforts to aggregate knowledge and offers perspectives on how to proceed to address knowledge gaps.
