The convening brought together a select group of researchers and practitioners in a dynamic working group to define common research goals and priorities around girls’ math identity. The convening was streamed live online and virtual participants were able to contribute to plenary sessions and small group discussions. All participants were invited to form an interdisciplinary Networked Improvement Community (NIC) to further the important work initiated at the convening.  Keynote SpeakerDr
