Partnering With Practitioners: How Researcher-Practitioner Collaborations Can Benefit Research and Practice

Mon, April 11, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Mint

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores the potential for collaborations between researchers and practitioners to generate knowledge about teaching and learning. The researcher-practitioner partnerships in these papers take different forms; however, they share common commitments to do work that is meaningful to a local school site. In studying the form and function of these different collaborations, we learn about the affordances of each. The papers examine how these partnerships operated at the local school site, what knowledge resulted from these partnerships, and how that knowledge might benefit an audience beyond the local context.
