Who are we?
At the National Center for Research in Policy and Practice, we catalyze and engage in inquiry to understand how research can be a transformative tool within equity-centered educational practice and policy.
In this work, we seek to:
- inquire through systematic studies to understand how research can be a transformative tool
- facilitate learning through workshops, professional learning, and public "design sprints" to support transformative engagement in research
- collaborate with funders and other research organizations to re-imagine and support new approaches to designing and supporting research
- support powerful networks for the collective learning of those engaged in collaborative, transformative educational research
- advance resources through design, development, and testing of tools for engaging in, and using, educational research
- share insights, knowledge, and tools with broader communities
