The InSCITE Networked Improvement Community (NIC) is a long-term multi-sited collaborative formation between the City University of New York (CUNY) and Telos Learning. Its work addresses the following guiding question: How might colleges of education engage in coherent institutional change to prepare pre-service teachers to equitably and meaningfully integrate computing and digital literacies into their teaching practice?

WHEN: Today, April 28, at 12 pm ET / 11 am CT / 9 am PT

TOPIC: Please join us for today's NNERPP workshop where we work through dimensions and indicators related to effective partnering (read more about this William T. Grant funded effort here). In a NNERPP workshop last month, members of the NNERPP community engaged with and provided feedback on a preliminary set of tools. We now invite you to get involved again, this time as we think through the development of mini-routines geared towards helping RPPs regularly think about specific indicators with quick activities that can be easily implemented with little prep and in a short time frame. We envision this workshop as a mini-design sprint allowing participants to actively develop mini-routines and directly inform the work.

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 Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation.
