Sample Publications & Awards
The goal of our work is to create positive social change and help to address educational inequities—mainly by supporting K-12 educators and families of school-aged children. Oftentimes, scholarly publications can serve as a communication mechanism to support this goal, and sometimes organizations recognize our efforts through awards or honors. The following information offers a small sample of scholarly publications and awards that reflect our work.
