Year 3 (2025–26)
The third year of the research-practice partnership will begin the deep dive into PK–12 spaces in which Black boys thrive. Using the findings from the exploratory phase, the research team will develop a plan for collecting and analyzing data to understand the characteristics, structures, functions, and features of PK–12 spaces in which Black boys thrive. The research will likely include on-site data collection, such as observation, focus groups with current students, interviews with individuals, and questionnaires or surveys.
