RPP STUDY OPPORTUNITY:
Verenisse Ponce Soria, student at Orange County Educational Advancement Network, is conducting a study to understand how different RPPs center community assets in their design. Assets can include people, places, organizations, and routines in a community. RPPs aim to reimagine how we can prioritize equity and sustainability in research projects by modeling respect, reciprocity, and power-sharing in the research process. This approach can serve to repair prior harms and replace despair with hope.

University researchers and/or practice-side partners who are currently participating in an RPP or have participated in an RPP in the past are invited to participate in this study. Participants will contribute to our understanding of how RPPs are organizing to transform the field of education and their local communities through the use of community assets. Participants will be asked to engage in a 60-minute interview.

Please contact Verenisse at vponceso@uci.edu for more information and to participate.

TOPIC: Please join us for our next NNERPP workshop where we introduce the new NNERPP Milestones Guide for Emerging RPPs. The Milestones Guide is the result of an ongoing effort of a group of NNERPP members to sort through the ups and downs of their own RPP experiences and distill them into a set of things they wish they knew in the early stages of their RPP. It is intended to help teams in the initial phases of starting an RPP to navigate and prioritize suggested first-year activities and goals, including bringing awareness to potential challenges that might occur.
Geared towards beginners in RPP work, the workshop will introduce the guide and accompanying checklist and invite participants to work through a test protocol and ask questions / provide feedback. We hope you join us!

NOTE: This workshop is open to all. Sign up
here to attend.
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 FoundationWilliam T. Grant Foundation The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation
