Our portfolio of studies is grounded in the focus areas of our learning agenda, which guide our efforts to deliver insights into how to scale effective professional learning in key areas of practice.
June 10, 2025
While research shows that effective professional learning (PL) can improve teacher practice and student outcomes, as a field, we have struggled to develop teacher learning opportunities that translate into improved student outcomes at scale. To meet these challenges, we must accelerate our learning about PL and expand our understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and why.
RPPL developed a learning agenda when we launched our work together in the summer of 2021. Our portfolio of studies outlines our collective action toward this agenda, detailing research efforts to answer essential questions for how to scale effective PL.
If successful, the studies will help us and the field understand what works in PL and lead PL providers to align their practices/models to our evidence-based findings. Our goal is to transform teacher learning and practice to ensure that all students—especially those from historically marginalized groups—learn rigorous content and thrive in equitable schools.
NOTE: The portfolio will be released to the broader public on June 16, so please do not share this with others yet!
