NNERPP WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS
Join us in welcoming our two newest members:
The Education Policy Innovation Collaborative (EPIC) is a partnership among Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, the Michigan Department of Education, the Center for Educational Performance and Information, and local school district leaders. EPIC seeks to provide an objective, timely research base for decision-makers at the state and district levels of policy and practice in Michigan.
The Stanford-Sequoia K-12 Research Collaborative is a partnership between Stanford University Graduate School of Education and the nine surrounding school districts in the Bay Area (Sequoia Union High School District, Belmont Redwood Shores School District, San Carlos School District, Las Lomitas School District, Menlo Park City School District, Woodside School District, Portola Valley School District, Redwood City School District, and Ravenswood School District). The partnership’s research projects focus on equity issues, with most specifically addressing the performance of English learners. Welcome to NNERPP!
TENNESSEE EDUCATION RESEARCH ALLIANCE EXAMINES TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS
In “Comparing the Effectiveness of Early and Upper Elementary Teachers in Tennessee,” Sy Doan and Laura K. Rogers examine patterns of teacher assignment across the pre-K and elementary grades, finding that teacher effectiveness is not distributed equally across upper and lower elementary grades, and that reassignment of lower-performing upper elementary teachers may be a contributing factor.
RESEARCH ALLIANCE FOR NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS EXPLORES STUDENT HOMELESSNESS
In “Homelessness in NYC Elementary Schools: Student Experiences and Educator Perspectives,” Kathryn Hill and Zitsi Mirakhur explore how young children in New York City experience homelessness over time, how homelessness affects their educational experiences, and how schools might serve these students.

DID YOU KNOW...?
When educators and researchers engage in RPP work together, their engagement with research shifts in multi-directional ways, they build new skills, and their work even impacts colleagues and other stakeholders.
Research from the National Center for Research in Policy and Practice (NCRPP) explores, among other questions, what happened to educators and researchers who participated in RPPs. In a previous blog post for NNERPP, NCRPP researcher Kristen Davidson highlights three main takeaways:
1) Educators and researchers deepened their appreciation of each other's work
2) Educators and researchers developed their knowledge and skills to conduct research together
3) Educators and researchers expanded their communication with stakeholders about research
