As the news media industry has undergone profound change, a positive development amid the disruption has been the growth in philanthropy-supported news outlets, including those that specialize in education coverage. This session will focus on how these news providers differ from traditional outlets in their coverage of education and education research and data; and how they complement, supplement, and influence news coverage nationally and locally. Panelists will also discuss the new opportunities that these outlets provide education researchers and best practices for scholars who want to communicate their work through media coverage. Participants include Matt Barnum (Chalkbeat), Sarah Carr (The Teacher Project), Sarah Garland (The Hechinger Report), chair Sarah Dockery Sparks (Education Week), and commentator Jeffrey R. Heing (Teachers College, Columbia University).

What are the implications for education research as a field to navigate a world where our mission and purpose may be contested rather than embraced? The session will start by having each participant briefly reflect on the topic and speak to the question of what we (individually and organizationally) can do with our skills, knowledge, and expertise to ensure that our work moves forward and matters. We will follow up with cross-talk among the panelists and encourage audience questions and participation
. The session will be chaired by Vivian L. Gadsden (University of Pennsylvania) and Felice J. Levine (AERA). Participants include Deborah Loewenberg Ball (University of Michigan), James A.

Reimagining Education for the Changing Public: From Research to Promising Pedagogy in Racially Diverse Schools

4:05 to 6:05 p.m.
New York Hilton Midtown, Second Floor, Sutton South
Link to session

This session foregrounds the research and theory behind professional development for educators working in racially and ethnically diverse schools. Based on the knowledge base informing a summer institute designed by faculty and graduate students at one college of education, this session will inspire other educational researchers who focus on issues of race, pedagogy and inequality to translate their theory into practice and provide the critical frameworks and analysis to foster best practices in racially and culturally diverse schools. The presenters are organized according to the four research-based themes of the summer institute: Why Reimagining?; Racial and Cultural Literacy; Equity Pedagogy; and Culturally Sustaining Leadership. The session will be chaired by Susan Fuhrman (Teachers College, Columbia University) Django Paris (University of Washington) serves as discussant.
