The School Policy, Action, and Research Center (SPARC) at UC Davis generates research leading to actionable insights that can support the educational wellbeing of vulnerable youth.

Our work supports children experiencing adverse life and social circumstances, including Asian American and Pacific Islander youth who have been bullied, children experiencing chronic absenteeism, and child welfare-involved youth who have experienced maltreatment.

Take a look at some of the actionable insights from our research than can help inform school policies, practices, and programs.
