EDUC 352A: Introduction to Research-Practice Partnerships
This course is an introduction to education research-practice partnerships (RPPs). It examines the distinctive characteristics of education research-practice partnerships, how they differ from other efforts to improve education, and the types of questions that have been explored by RPPs.
