Thursday, June 13
- 10:45 – 11:45 am ET: Challenging the Logic of Education Policy Design: A Complex Systems Study of Afterschool Continuous Quality Improvement
- Presenters: Patrik Lundh and Andrea Beesley
- Researchers will discuss a study which examines how California’s policy for continuous quality improvement (CQI) in over 4,500 afterschool programs is influenced by the education system’s structure and organizational dynamics, often leading to unexpected outcomes. Using complex systems concepts, their work analyzes these patterns and challenges common assumptions in education policy.
