DID YOU KNOW?

The NNERPP Early Childhood Education Subnetwork is a specialized learning community for NNERPP members who are conducting research on topics related to early childhood education. Members of 13 research-practice partnerships in NNERPP currently participate in this subnetwork.

NEW: We just launched a research repository website that includes all early childhood education research produced by the RPPs in this NNERPP Subnetwork, organized by topic. Check it out!

(Let us know if your RPP should be included in this group!)

VIRTUAL BROWN BAGS

This week, we heard from The Village@FCRR’s Nicole Patton-Terry who shared practical advice for tenure-track academic faculty interested in launching research-practice partnerships. Based on her experience of launching two RPPs in two separate universities, Nicole discussed the structures needed to start an RPP, ways to effectively involve the community, and important considerations for securing tenure while doing this work.

If you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the recording and find the slides here! (Find access details in your inbox, members only.)

NNERPP aims to develop and support RPPs in education in order to improve the connection between research, policy, and practice.

NNERPP is made possible by the generous funding support of the William T. Grant Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Spencer Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation.
