Research Partnership for Professional Learning

Meet the RPPL Team

How RPPL Works

RPPL was originally founded by professional learning organizations and researchers at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University. Today, we have expanded to a full team of education leaders and researchers who lead our collaborative.  

Our core research team continues to be housed at Annenberg and we work as one team to advance teacher professional learning.
