	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
	These two outcomes were combined for the purpose of the literature reviews because they draw from similar research bases. The categories of predictors have been split across 3 panelists as detailed below.
	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
	Will address predictors related to school finance, economics of education

	Lashawn Richburg-Hayes, Insight Policy Research
9:45-11:00	Part 1: Describe Outcomes and Predictors
	Discussion Leaders: Laura Hamilton, Sara McLanahan
	Each panelist will give a brief, 10-minute overview for the assigned outcome and address the questions listed below. This may could include a few power point slides, handouts, and/or citations for important studies.
	Describe Outcomes: How is each outcome defined and measured? What are the components/subcomponents of each outcome? Describe Predictors/Correlates/Opportunities: What are the most powerful predictors/correlates of performance on the outcome? How are the predictors/correlates defined and measured?
11:00 am-12:00 pm	Part 2: Cross-Outcomes Discussion of Equity
	Discussion Leaders: Sean Reardon, Sharon Lewis
	Two committee members will lead panelists in a discussion of similarities and differences in predictors/correlates across outcomes. The focus will be on the factors that affect disadvantaged students in ways that result in disparities in outcomes.
	How do predictors/correlates relate to equity? Which predictors/correlates are most associated with disparities (e.g., by race, SES, immigration status, EL status, other) on each outcome measure?
12:00-12:45	Lunch in Meeting Room

12:45-2:15	Part 3: Cross-Outcomes Discussion of Indicators and Policy Interventions (90 mins.)
	Moderators: Karolyn Tyson, Morgan Polikoff
	Two committee members will lead panelists in a cross-outcomes discussion of research on leverage points for policy interventions and on potential indicators that could facilitate such interventions.
	Which predictors/correlates are sensitive to policy intervention? Which predictors/correlates are the most “malleable,” and likely to change as a result of targeted policy interventions intended -to increase equity in the outcomes? Which factors are candidates for indicators? What components of the outcomes and predictors/correlates “rise to the top” as potential indicators? What do you see as challenges or limitations associated with those potential indicators?
2:15	Adjourn
