Researchers from WestEd will present on a range of topics at the 2021 Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE) Virtual Conference, held on September 26–29, 2021.
This year’s theme is “The Fierce Urgency of Knowledge: Education Evidence for Reimagining and Reckoning.” SREE encourages “immediate and consequential action to leverage evidence of effective practices and policies to counteract inequity, accelerate student learning, and reimagine how our systems can better support all educators and students.”
Please add WestEd sessions to your conference calendar and visit the WestEd virtual exhibit table to meet staff, pick up recent publications, and learn about career opportunities.
