Welcome to our fall edition
Welcome to our new issue of NNERPP Extra! In this issue, we are excited to share three new articles with you: First up, we hear from the Oakland Unified School District and University of California, Berkeley Research-Practice Partnership (RPP) about research on understanding and supporting new teachers’ experiences with professional learning; next, we hear the case for integrating youth-participatory action research into RPPs; and finally, we share how the NNERPP community is continuing to build on its collection of resources and use cases for brokering in RPPs. Happy reading, and happy fall!
