Welcome to NNERPP Extra, your space for exploring the intersection of education research, policy, and practice!
Welcome to our new issue
We just published a new issue of our quarterly magazine NNERPP Extra! We are excited to share the first issue of Volume 8 with you. Thank you for joining us for another year – or if you are a first-time reader, thank you for newly joining us! In this issue, we “visit” six different partnerships in NNERPP through a collection of stories of RPP impact, we take a look at how how situational mapping might be used in RPPs to examine the influences that can affect within- and cross-team collaboration, and we hear advice from young people on how RPPs can partner with and truly center youth. As always, a special thank you goes to our wonderful guest authors who contributed to this issue. Happy reading!

The magazine is organized into four recurring sections:
Research Insights
In this section, NNERPP members share a behind-the-scenes look at partnership research
One powerful way to illustrate the impact of RPPs is to simply hear –and share– their stories: What have they worked on in a given timeframe? How has the work impacted students, teachers, and communities? Here, we “visit” six RPPs from across the country (as well as internationally) for a look at what they have been up to in 2025 – and what difference their work has made.
RPP Deep Dive
This section explores pressing challenges commonly encountered in RPPs and possible solutions to these
How could RPPs navigate the complex systems and relationships inherent to partnership work? RPP team members brought together by a study conducted under the New York City Early Childhood Research Network propose situational mapping analysis as one way to examine the multiple and interacting influences that can affect within- and cross-team collaboration.
