Increasing Capacity to Mobilize and Apply Research Knowledge in the Ontario Education System

Funding: SSHRC Insight, Completed 2019

Abstract: This study convenes multi-stakeholder panels of researchers, intermediaries, policymakers and practitioners to a) determine three focus areas for KMb efforts (such as mental health, special education, equity, or strategic planning), b) suggest existing research-based products, and c) create tailored KMb tools and resources for different educational practitioners in these focus areas.  Resources will be disseminated using existing networks, training, and institutional levers to widely distribute the KMb tools and resources to educational practitioners (teachers, vice-principals and principals, superintendents and directors of education).
