Keynotes
Dr. Laura Wentworth, Director of Research-Practice Partnership Program at California Education Partners and
Dr. Paula Arce-Trigatti, Director of the National Network of Education Research-Practice Partnerships
Thursday Keynote: "What is this thing called an RPP?" Exploring Fundamentals of Research-Practice Partnerships in Education
Friday Keynote: What Works and How to Make it Work in Education Research-Practice Partnerships: Stories from the Field
In these two keynote talks, participants will engage in the concept of research-practice partnerships in education. According to Farrell and colleagues (2021), “RPPs are long term collaborations focused on educational improvement or equitable transformation through engagement with research. These partnerships are intentionally organized to connected diverse forms of expertise and shifts of power relations in the research endeavor to ensure that all partners have a say in the joint work” (p. iv). The Thursday keynote discussion will explore the “core DNA” of a research-practice partnership in education. This will give conference participants a common foundation and vocabulary for conversations about RPPs in the conference. The Friday keynote discussion will explore some examples of RPPs that have the goal of achieving different outcomes, including some RPPs working towards successful secondary to post-secondary transitions. Participants will be able to engage in some “cases” of RPPs in education during the Friday keynote.
