Abstract

Research-practice partnerships are long-term commitments dedicated to addressing priorities of the practice through research. With a mission of bridging the research-to-practice gap and increasing the relevancy of education research, the Institute for Education Science has funded establishment of Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships. Four of these funded Partnerships, all at different stages in their development, will discuss the organization and mission of their partnerships. Presenters will describe how the organization of the partnership has increased the relevancy and meaningfulness of their research. The benefits and challenges of the Partnerships will be discussed. A panel discussion will follow the individual presentations in which presenters will field questions from the discussant and audience regarding the nature of Partnerships.
