The Office of Research and Evaluation hosts periodic webinars summarizing research on different topics, including those most closely aligned to the Board’s Goals and Guardrails. Each webinar is about an hour long, with opportunities for attendees to ask questions. Most of our webinars are recorded and posted on this website for those who wish to view them at a later date.

Join us for our December 2024 Research Roundup
Pathways to Graduation: Where is SDP on the Road to Keystone Proficiency?
The Board of Education’s Goals and Guardrails, and the District’s strategic plan – Accelerate Philly – emphasize the importance of Keystone proficiency as the primary path to graduation for SDP students.
In December’s “Pathways to Graduation” webinar, researchers from SDP and Research for Action who work collaboratively as part of the Philadelphia Education Research Consortium (PERC) will focus on Pennsylvania’s Act 158, a law that created new statewide graduation requirements starting with the graduating class of 2023.
We’ll look at the actual graduation pathways for SDP’s 2023 graduates both in the context of past predictions and what the latest data might tell us about future outcomes. Then we’ll take a closer look at historical Keystone performance in SDP, with a discussion of how and when our high school students have historically taken and passed Keystone exams and how this data can support our work toward achieving Keystone proficiency for all SDP students.
We hope you’ll join us!
