We are so pleased to introduce Version 2 of the NNERPP-sourced “RPP Brokers Handbook: A Guide to Brokering in Education Research-Practice Partnerships” by Laura Wentworth, Carrie Conaway, Samantha Shewchuk, and Paula Arce-Trigatti.

This is an expanded and updated version of the handbook, which codifies the work of brokers in education research-practice partnerships (RPPs), thereby identifying the specific and essential role they play in enabling public scholarship and social impact, in hopes of strengthening the craft of brokering and helping current and aspiring RPP brokers in learning about and honing brokering skills. We are excited for you to explore the updated handbook and engage in this work! This updated Version 2 includes additional vignettes and a few changes based on user feedback. Please send additional feedback and ideas for new cases to Laura Wentworth at laura@caedpartners.org.
