The goal of the 4th annual SDP R2P conference is to convene experts in education research, practice, and policy to share information about their latest research activities, lessons learned, and challenges. This year, the SDP R2P conference is expanding to increase opportunities to learn from a network of researchers focused on common topics, including early literacy, dropout prevention, school climate, and using evidence to inform decision making. The day-long conference will include a plenary speaker, poster and networking session, and concurrent breakout sessions. Presentations will focus on research being conducted within Philadelphia, in addition to other schools and districts focusing on similar priorities. This conference will position researchers and practitioners from within and outside Philadelphia to share their approaches, methodologies, findings, and next steps for addressing key research questions.
