DIMENSIONS OF EQUITY IN RPPs – A FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE PARTNERSHIP DISCUSSIONS
Stacey Sexton, Jean Ryoo, Lisa Garbrecht, and Renee Fall share a framework that supports partnerships in structuring important conversations about equity challenges faced by RPPs.
SHOULD RPPs BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING KNOWLEDGE THAT INFORMS EDUCATION EFFORTS MORE BROADLY? A MULTI-VIEW TAKE ON DIMENSION 4 FROM THE HENRICK, ET AL. RPP EFFECTIVENESS FRAMEWORK
We explore a number of aspects around the question of whether RPPs should be expected to prioritize the spread of knowledge beyond the borders of the partnership.
ATTENDING TO ISSUES OF EQUITY IN EVALUATING RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIP OUTCOMES
Erin Henrick, Steven McGee, and Bill Penuel discuss how RPPs can address equity goals prioritized by their partnership using the “5 dimensions of RPP effectiveness” framework and demonstrate how by working towards each dimension of effectiveness, those engaged in partnership work are also inherently working towards equity-focused goals.
DEVELOPING BRIEFS THAT BRIDGE THE GAP IN UNDERSTANDING AMONG RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS / POLICYMAKERS
To effectively engage multiple audiences with research findings and implications, an initial conversation with the researcher, structured around the key takeaways that policymakers or practitioners should understand from a particular study, can be a crucial first step towards developing a nontechnical research brief, write Jessica Holter and Jeff Archer, sharing their partnership’s process.
