| Each panelist has been assigned to one or two of the six outcomes and has agreed to prepare a paper that reviews the literature on equity issues related to the outcome. | |
| In the paper, panelists will also examine literature on the predictors/correlates of those outcomes and on equity issues related to these predictors and correlates. | |
| Panelists will consider predictors and correlates from 4 broad categories: (a) family and home environment; (b) child and adolescent social-emotional and academic development; (c) in-school structures, supports, and resources; and (d) community and neighborhood environment. | |
| The panel discussions are designed to lay the groundwork for the papers, and the information will be used to refine the goals for each paper. | |
| There will be 3 parts to the panel discussions. Part 1 will focus on each outcome separately. Parts 2 and 3 will be cross-outcome discussions. | |
| Panelists | |
| Pre-K Readiness | |
| Katherine Magnuson, University of Wisconsin (by telephone) | |
| K–12: Strong Achievement and Academic Progress and Engagement in Schooling | |

| Douglas Ready, Columbia Teachers College | |
| Will address predictors related to in-school supports, such as school curricula, resources, teachers, support systems | |
| Lori Taylor Texas A&M | |
