New JSL paper out today! We find that elementary schools who use an intensive, sustained LGBTQ+-inclusivity professional development have decreased disciplinary rates for ALL STUDENTS in the school with Erin K Gill (on the market) and Xue Gong journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

Our Madison Education Partnership and Madison Schools (WI) teams are so lucky to work with Dr. Katie Eklund. Her advocacy and expertise around supporting students' mental health impresses me every day 🙌

MEP Co-Director Dr. Katie Eklund was recently featured in this Education Week report on the limitations of school mental health screenings edweek.org/leadership/des…

A new study from UW–Madison School of Education researchers @drmmcquillan, Erin K Gill (on the market) & Xue Gong found training elementary school teachers in inclusive practices for LGBTQ+ students leads to lower disciplinary rates for all students. education.wisc.edu/news/new-uw-ma…

Interesting research from Madison Education Partnership on differences in the experience of students enrolled in full-day and half-day four-year-old kindergarten (4K) in the Madison Metropolitan School District. More here --> wcer.wisc.edu/news/detail/ne…

this project illustrates exactly why partnership research is so important— when research yields counterintuitive results, there are trusting relationships in place to unpack WHY (+ what questions we might need to interrogate together next). great work Madison Education Partnership Culleen Witthuhn!

Our partners in Madison Metropolitan School District piloted an expansion of 4K (four-year-old kindergarten) from a half-day to full-day program. We looked closely at how this impacted the program's reach and effects on learning.

Madison Education Partnership sponsored a project led by McKinney de Royston , titled Preparing Culturally Relevant, Anti-racist Secondary Teachers.  The research team has been collecting data and learning from our amazing educators in Madison Schools (WI) and today we got to discuss and learn together!

We joined Madison Schools (WI) leaders to hear about a MEP sponsored project led by Nicole Louie (Advancing Equity in Middle School Mathematics). The team shared what has been learned during year one and where the work is headed next year. Excited for the next stages of this work!

Dr. Katie Eklund, SMHC, nails the cycle created with OSS: 'They're more likely to receive another down the road.' MMSD does away with out of school suspensions for elementary students. wkow.com/video/theyre-m… via WKOW 27 News
