Welcome to NNERPP!
TOPIC: Please join us for a new member spotlight this month, where we hear from the Illinois Workforce and Education Research Collaborative (IWERC)! The talk will focus on three specific methodological challenges faced by RPPs in conducting research: (1) collecting and analyzing data on racial/ethnic identification, (2) working with public data sets with specific ways of defining and sharing variables, and (3) determining what level of data (e.g., district, school, student) are needed to conduct robust analyses. We hope to outline these challenges and discuss ideas for effective management of these issues.
NNERPP aims to develop and support RPPs in education in order to improve the connection between research, policy, and practice.
We are pleased to announce the second round of NNERPP’s awards program, "
