    Tough As Nails and Drawing on Kinship: Rigorous and inclusive educational research in Kentucky Appalachia
    (Digital Promise, 2023-04) Emi Iwatani
    In this panel presentation, Emi Iwatani applies the three tenets of civic imagination (advanced by Henry Jenkins, Sangita Shresthova and colleagues) to explain how research practice partnership projects in Eastern Kentucky has required inclusion and rigor, in order to work towards the future. She argues that "rigor" (strictness, exactness) in such co-design work must be applied not just to the inferential, knowledge generation processes (e.g., instrumentation, analysis) but also to setting up pre-conditions in alignment with the tenets.

    Teacher Learner Connect Project
    (Digital Promise, 2023-03) Iwatani, Emi; Simmons, Cortney; Leones, Tiffany; Bustillos, Adrian; Hinds, Fiona; Scheirman, Silvia
    The report and slides summarize findings and reflections from the Teacher Learner Connect project, an exploratory research practice partnership supported by the Pahara Institute, UCLA Center for the Developing Adolescent, and Bezos Family Foundation. The project provided opportunities for small teams of teachers and middle/high school students to converse over a meal about assessment, exploration and healthy risk-taking in the classroom. The conversations underscored the importance of assignment relevance (as felt by students), as well as the value of student-teacher conversations and student voice.
