Historically marginalized children, particularly those from underserved communities, often have limited access to enriching environments within their neighborhoods. An RPP between the Orange County Educational Advancement Network (OCEAN) and the Santa Ana Early Learning Initiative (SAELI) works to transform everyday locations into vibrant spaces for rich STEM learning – by centering the voices, experiences, and expertise of parents in the co-design of these learning environments.

LEARNING TO CO-DESIGN INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS FOR SCALE AND SPREAD
The inquiryHub partnership, a design-based RPP, is co-developing high school instructional materials for biology, chemistry, and physics. What are students’ experiences of the curriculum, and how do they vary by race/ethnicity and by gender? How do teachers judge and experience the materials? iHub gives a behind-the-scenes look at partnership research exploring these questions by field testing curriculum materials.
HOW HAS THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ COMPUTER SCIENCE GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IMPACTED STUDENTS?
In 2016, Chicago Public Schools became the first school district in the nation to enact a high school computer science graduation requirement. How did it impact student access and outcomes? The Chicago Alliance for Equity in Computer Science (CAFÉCS) gives a behind-the-scenes look at partnership research exploring this question.
INTEGRATING COMPUTER SCIENCE LEARNING IN RURAL CLASSROOMS: FROM BARRIERS TO OPPORTUNITIES
How can rural K-8 educators be supported in integrating computer science into math and science instruction? The STEM Workforce Ready 2030 RPP gives a behind-the-scenes look at partnership research on barriers to integrating computer science in the classroom – and how these barriers can become opportunities.
RESEARCH VIGNETTES: A LOOK AT RECENT RPP WORK
We highlight some recent RPP work from NNERPP members by taking you through three short vignettes of studies you might want to know about, bringing you a study each from the West, the South, and the Northeast, selected for their unique viewpoints and contributions.
