Fostering Deeper Learning in Research-Practice Partnerships: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives

Sat, April 10, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), Division A, Division A - Section 1 Structured Poster Sessions

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

In an effort to bolster schools’ and districts’ abilities to implement deeper learning interventions at scale, the field of education has begun to embrace research-practice partnerships (RPPs) as a structure that leverages practitioner and researcher knowledge to organize improvement efforts. Drawing on work funded by the Hewlett Foundation focused on strengthening deeper learning among students farthest from opportunity, this session showcases both case studies of RPPs and theoretical investigations of how RPPs intervene to improve deeper learning outcomes Together, this collection of empirical and theoretical investigations of deeper learning strategies across contexts, along with the theorization of frameworks to support such work, provides a rich set of cases from which to learn about how RPPs can improve educational systems.
