We present a framework for normalizing collaborative research in the field of educa…
Education Research-Practice Partnerships
The emerging literature on research-practice partnerships in education explains the conditions under which these partnerships operate to achieve the desired impact. This study adds to that literature base by exploring variation in the perceived impacts across three partnerships whose goal was improving achievement for multilingual learner students. To examine these partnerships, we posit a conceptual framework that defines partnership impacts and…

Caitlin Farrell, Laura Wentworth, and Michelle Nayfack discuss what conditions helped school district leaders and researchers from the partnership be…

On the other hand, the policies inspired the use of data-based indicators in day-to-day routines in schools. In some cases, practitio…
