Description
This Call for Proposals is part of Phase II of the Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research (KNAER). We are building on what has been learned from Phase 1, and are now supporting the establishment of four thematic knowledge networks that use a systems approach to knowledge mobilization. In November 2016, two out of the four thematic knowledge networks were established around the themes of Mathematics and Well-Being. The Mathematics Knowledge Network is being led by the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Science while the Knowledge Network for Student Well-Being is being co-led by the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board and the Offord Centre for Child Studies. For more information about KNAER and the thematic knowledge networks please visit http://www.knaer-recrae.ca.
This Call is in search of a Network Host(s) for the Learning and Leading for Equity Knowledge Network. The Equity Knowledge Network Host(s) will be the lead(co-lead) organization responsible for coordinating the collaborative activities of the network partners. The Equity Knowledge Network Host(s) will establish and lead the network by bringing together diverse partner organizations to form the network; mobilize evidence from educational research and professional practice connected to diversity and equity; facilitate the use of evidence-based practices for instruction to support improved educational achievement for racialized and marginalized students; and contribute to Ontario’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy in partnership with educators, researchers and stakeholders from across Ontario.
If you are interested in making a submission on behalf of your organization, please review the attached guide carefully, as it describes all the information that is required in a submission. Please note that the deadline for submissions is June 12th, 2017. There will be an information session to learn more about the equity thematic network and the role of the network host. Contact cro.office@ontario.ca if you have any questions.
