ADVISORY GROUP

This research study was assisted by an advisory group consisting of researchers, organizers, and other experts on school reform and organizing with a wide range of expertise and experiences. This group reviewed the research framework, questions, and draft findings and provided feedback and guidance to our research team during the study.

They also participated in convenings with study sites and helped develop a dissemination strategy for reaching multiple and varied audiences, including scholars in the field of education reform, educational policy-makers and funders, school and district administrators and staff, and community-based organizations that are engaged in or may be considering education organizing.
