Graduate Research
The Kansas State University College of Education is proud to be a leader in education research here in Kansas. We are grateful to the practitioners who have contributed their dissertation research to our Research Brief initiative. It is our hope that this work provides a bridge between researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, making research more accessible to those in the field.
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction hosts a Graduate and University Partners Research and Creative Activity Fair to enable graduate students and K-12 university partners to share the research they have conducted over the course of the year.
