Reception (Light refreshments served.)
Sustainability Roundable
Join this roundtable to discuss what we understand about sustainability within dynamic systems, adoption versus adaptation, scaling practices up or down, and other challenges to keeping our work alive.
Please bring your questions and ideas on sustainability to a roundtable to discuss with colleagues.
Some initial thoughts to consider:
Sharing Research Findings with School Districts: Precision, Partnership, and Politics
Presenters will highlight three best practices for communicating research to school district stakeholders—strategic report formats, mutual partnerships, and an emphasis on positive outcomes from programmatic interventions—and will engage participants in roundtable discussion.
Recruitment and Retention
Recruitment and retention are key issues for applied research; this roundtable will discuss how to attract and retain study participants.
How can we identify the right people to participate in our studies, and then attract them to participate? What strategies can we use to then retain them for the life of the study?
Meeting Project Objectives through Mid-course Shifts in Direction
This roundtable is for those interested in discussing mid-project shifts and the reasons for them, including early findings, unanticipated problems, and unexpected opportunities.
Meeting project objectives can involve being willing to shift direction mid-course. This roundtable is for those interested in discussing mid-project shifts and the reasons for them, including early findings, unanticipated problems, and unexpected opportunities. Come prepared to share and think together.
Collaboration Roundtable
This roundtable discussion will focus on the challenges of identifying the unique contributions of each group; moving beyond the comfort zone of one's own area of expertise; and finding common language within collaborative efforts.
Grantees increasingly are bringing together multi-disciplinary teams and diverse partners to both lead and participate in their projects. They are challenged with identifying the potential unique contributions of each group; moving beyond the comfort zone of one's own area of expertise; and finding common language to collaborative efforts. This discussion will be the beginning of conversation about concerns related to strategies for effective collaboration.

Grantees who focus on universal design for learning (UDL) will share their experiences, address critical questions, and explore opportunities.
