Assistant Professor Emily Penner receives 2020 Community Outcomes and Impact Award

1/8/2021

 
​The International Association for Research on Service-Learning & Community Engagement (IARSLCE) awarded Assistant Professor Emily Penner (right) a 2020 Community Outcomes and Impact Award.
 
Penner received the award alongside Stanford Professor Tom Dee and San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) Assistant Superintendent Bill Sanderson. The award will support the group’s continuing research into the impact of SFUSD’s ethnic studies curriculum.
 
“Our previous research provided the first causal estimates of the impact of ethnic studies on student outcomes,” Penner said. “Notably, the program had large, positive effects on academically marginalized students during their challenging ninth grade transition year. Our close partnership with Dr. Sanderson also made it possible for us to provide this evidence at the moment when the district was making decisions about whether to scale up ethnic-studies courses in the district.”

​In granting the award, IARSLC wrote that the group’s work has “had local and national impacts as their scholarship has informed policy and practice in the development, adoption, and defense of ethnic studies requirements in K-12 schools.”
 
Penner, Dee, and Sanderson will be recognized during the IARSLCE virtual recognition event in January and will present their research to colleagues during the early part of 2021.
 
Penner studies educational inequality and policy, and considers the ways that policies, districts, schools, teachers, and parents can contribute to or ameliorate educational inequality. She is currently involved in projects examining teacher recruitment and retention in constrained labor and housing markets, how school sorting processes affect student opportunities to learn, and how educator-initiated curricula that center the cultural and historical experiences of traditionally marginalized students impact student outcomes.
 
The International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE), founded in 2005, is an international non-profit organization devoted to promoting research and discussion about service-learning and community engagement across the educational spectrum (primary, secondary, post-secondary, and further education).
