NEW EDITION OUT NOW
We are excited to kick off Year 7 of NNERPP Extra with a new issue! Thank you for joining us for another year – or if you are a first-time reader, thank you for newly joining us on our NNERPP Extra journey!
“Journey” seems to be our theme as we start our seventh year of this magazine. Our articles in this issue all take us on a journey: First up, we get a glimpse at the journeys six different partnerships in NNERPP have been on throughout 2024 through a collection of stories of RPP impact; next, we take a deep dive into the journey of the Secure and Upgrade Computer Science in Classrooms through an Ecosystem with Scalability & Sustainability (SUCCESS) RPP as it navigated the challenge of understanding and leveraging the role and expertise different partners contribute; and finally, we share about our journey of producing a cross-state analysis of the research-practice-policy ecosystems in eight states to develop a common framework from which to examine how systems of organizations interact to improve educational outcomes. As always, a special thank you goes to our wonderful guest authors who contributed to this issue. Happy reading!

STORIES OF IMPACT FROM SIX RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIPS
By NINA SPITZLEY, with NNERPP MEMBER TEAMS | January 16, 2025 *NEW*
One of the best ways to demonstrate the “why,” “how to,” and “so what” of research-practice partnerships, we have found, is to share what RPP work looks like in real life – and what impact it has in real life. Here, we share six stories of RPP impact, as told by partnerships within NNERPP from various settings and contexts and at various different stages of their partnership journey.

EXPLORING EDUCATION RESEARCH-PRACTICE-POLICY ECOSYSTEMS: A CROSS-STATE ANALYSIS
By KIM WRIGHT | January 16, 2025 *NEW*
How do different organizations and systems within the areas of education research, practice, and policy work together within states across the country, and how does this compare across states? We introduce a cross-state analysis of the research-practice-policy ecosystems in eight states that seeks to develop a common framework from which to examine the systems of organizations that interact to help research, practice, and policy work together to improve educational outcomes.
