NAF’s Research & Tech department is a new team with a strong legacy. NAF is a national network of education, business, and co ... mmunity leaders who work together to ensure high school students are college, career, and future-ready. One goal of NAF’s Research & Tech department is to produce and disseminate research findings that contribute to the national conversation around best practices in education, especially as they relate to equitable access for students. We view this LinkedIn page as a space to contribute to that conversation with leaders in the field who are as passionate as we are about best practices in education and who are actively researching youth and educators, career and technical education (CTE), partnerships for matching learning to work, and other factors impacting student transitions to life and work. Please join us in pushing the education research space forward, either through the discussions that emerge, resources cited and shared, or live webinars/panels that we look forward to hosting. All are welcome to participate by engaging with us and others on this page by (not a comprehensive list): 1) posting discussion questions or new/interesting research findings, 2) forming collaborative research groups to investigate areas of need, 3) general trouble shooting related to research methods or statistical analyses, and 4) sharing of tools/instruments useful for education researchers. read more
