Overview

Our work in the Educational Leadership and Policy Studies - Organizations and Policy program from University of Washington seeks to ensure equitable learning opportunities and results for students in and out of schools, from early childhood through K-12 and transitions to post-secondary education, with an emphasis on addressing disparities by race, class, language, ability, and other social identities.

Features

We inquire about these pressing problems by employing a variety of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, mixed, and design-based research. We rely on collaborative partnerships with communities, schools, districts, and regional and state agencies to shape our research.

We work to ensure that our scholarship contributes to improving practice and policy while also advancing, research, theory and knowledge about educational policy, leadership, and organizations.
