The Chicago Public Schools hosted the Freedom within the Form symposium to officially release its Equity-Centered Research Approach (EqRA). CAFÉCS was invited to share examples of how we have implemented the research integration elements of the EqRA. In this presentation, CAFÉCS team members introduced the CAFÉFC problem-solving cycle and the PROSPER framework as the mechanisms that enable research integration. We also presented three examples of ways that CAFÉCS has integrated research to support the CPS CS Team.
