RPPL’s 2026-2028 Contributing Studies Community of Practice convenes PIs, research leads, and district leaders from our funded Contributing Studies to engage in virtual meetings to foster relevant, collaborative, and impactful research and receive ongoing technical assistance from RPPL.
Overview of the Community of Practice
The RPPL Contributing Studies 2026-2028 Community of Practice (CoP) is a comprehensive initiative designed to support principal investigators (PIs), lead researchers, and practitioners involved in Contributing Studies portfolio. This portfolio includes seven studies exploring how AI is reshaping the design, delivery, and enactment of professional learning — moving well beyond tool adoption.
This CoP includes various types of sessions, such as 90-minute group Zoom meetings that feature sharing sessions for study updates and problem-solving, and learning sessions focused on methodological processes led by CoP members or guest speakers. Additionally, participants can access one-on-one technical assistance with RAC or AIB members and personalized check-ins with RPPL’s Director of Equitable Research-Practice Partnerships for project updates and challenges.
This community fosters meaningful collaboration and empowers researchers to advance equity-centered educational research.
