• Equity Framework for CTE Research

Join the CTE Research Network for a free webinar introducing our new framework for applying an intentional equity approach to research from start to finish.

Systems for learning and producing knowledge, such as career and technical education (CTE), often reproduce inequities unless a deliberate, equity-focused lens is used when developing, implementing, and evaluating programs. The Equity in CTE Workgroup, an initiative of the CTE Research Network, which is led by the American Institutes for Research (AIR), has developed an Equity Framework for CTE Research to provide guidance on infusing an intentional focus on equity into research from start to finish. The framework, along with a checklist and thematic overview, addresses six research stages and includes real and hypothetical examples from CTE research.

This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the framework as well as examples from the six research stages covered. The webinar will conclude with a brief Q&A.
