Yet, many people engage in this work.
In fact, knowledge brokers can serve in a wide range of job positions and work at different levels of influence.
Knowledge brokers exist across all parts of the education system - in intermediary organizations, research organizations, advocacy groups, foundations, as well as in state education agencies, schools, and districts - and have a wide range of roles and titles. What makes a knowledge broker a knowledge broker?
A knowledge broker is someone who…
Cultivates and sustains relationships between research and practice
Makes knowledge accessible and usable
Supports research-informed change
Centers equity in educational processes, goals, and outcomes
