Nathaniel Schwartz, PhD, Senior Researcher at RPPL and Director of Applied Research and Professor of the Practice at Brown University’s Annenberg Institute, reflects on learnings from RPPL’s early years and shares updates on what we are learning about the knowledge base on PL, how to do better research, and where RPPL goes from here.
By Nathaniel Schwartz, PhD
As the RPPL network embarks on an innovative approach to teacher PL research grounded in collaboration and a commitment to conducting equitable, relevant, and accessible research, we’re asking ourselves: How can organizations delivering PL turn themselves into laboratories to study design features of PL? How can we better collaborate across areas of expertise to understand what works, for which teachers and students, and under what conditions?
Nate Schwartz, PhD, from the RPPL research team at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University leads a discussion about what we’ve learned so far and the tools RPPL is developing to continue leading this work.
