UCI Building Partnerships to Improve Education Symposium was hosted by the Center for Creating Opportunities for Disadvantaged Students at the University of California, Irvine. The Center brings together interdisciplinary faculty to improve learning opportunities for children living in poverty. We conduct innovative research to transform the learning experiences of children with a focus on programs and interventions that improve students’ academic success. This event is designed to support UCI’s School of Education and Center for Educational Partnerships larger efforts to build the capacity of school and district leaders, researchers, and community partners to work collaboratively to improve educational outcomes for students in Orange County. The symposium provided the opportunity to:
  • Build research-practice partnerships in order to answer crucial questions pertinent to school districts and community organizations.
  • Learn about research studies being conducted at the Center that can inform critical issues around improving students’ outcomes and success in school and life.
  • Identify opportunities to advance learning and educational outcomes for K-12 students.
  • Connect with leading education researchers to learn about future potential partnerships.
  • Help shape the future research priorities at UCI’s Center.

For invitations to future events, please contact Marcela Reyes.
