NNERPP EXTRA
We just published a new edition of NNERPP | Extra, our quarterly magazine aiming to deliver key insights from the intersection of education research, policy, and practice – just in time for the holiday weekend! For some reading material over the long weekend, we invite you to explore the following articles:

RESEARCH LESSONS FROM THE PANDEMIC: WHY UNRESTRICTED FUNDING IS CRITICAL TO RPPs: We examine how three case studies of RPP work during the pandemic and in the wake of the racial justice movement highlight the critical need for unrestricted funding sources for RPPs.
WHAT’S NEW WITH RPP EFFECTIVENESS? We take stock of where we are in the RPP field in terms of RPP effectiveness and propose a new idea for the field to consider in these efforts.
ONBOARDING NEW PARTNERSHIP MEMBERS? HERE ARE THREE SLIDES TO INCLUDE: We share tips for onboarding new partnership members.
IMPROVING IMPROVEMENT: RESULTS FROM A PANDEMIC YEAR: We learn about outcomes of improvement efforts from three continuous improvement networks and takeaways from piloting and testing during a pandemic.
RESEARCH HEADLINES: We share a roundup listing all of our members’ research from the past quarter.

We are just about two weeks out from the 2021 NNERPP Annual Forum (July 19-23)! This will be our 6th official Annual Forum and the second one to be held in a virtual format. Our theme this year: “The New 3Rs: Recover, Reopen, Reinvent | Navigating Equitable Partnership Work During This Pivotal Time.”
We couldn't be more excited to see the NNERPP community there!

VIRTUAL BROWN BAGS

Last week, we heard from Erin Roth and DJ Cratty from the Office of the DC Auditor about lessons learned in DC around assembling a research-ready dataset in the context of a lack of statewide longitudinal education data. If you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the recording and find the slides here!
