>>ABOUT THE RPP BROKERING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Brokering in research-practice partnerships (RPPs) is an essential set of activities meant to support partners on the research- and practice-sides of an RPP to work together on research that supports improvement in education. Often invisible, brokering activities build bridges between the research, practice, and community spaces within partnerships, nurturing the relationships necessary to start, evolve, and sustain an RPP. RPP members frequently engage in brokering across a spectrum of roles. Despite the importance of brokering in RPPs, people engaging in RPP brokering may often feel isolated, with limited opportunities for learning how to improve brokering skill and practice.
In response to a need for professional growth opportunities focused specifically on brokering in RPPs, NNERPP is excited to once again offer three learning options created specifically to equip RPP leaders and members with brokering tools, processes, and a learning community that will foster their crucial work in strengthening partners and partnerships. Currently, these learning opportunities are the only available training activities developed by those engaging in RPP brokering for those engaging in RPP brokering.
Join us on a deep dive into the tools, practices, and experiences of effective RPP brokering via one of the three options available! Together, we will explore Brokering in Education Research-Practice Partnerships, collaboratively authored with NNERPP members and friends, and build a community of practice around the crucial role of brokering to strengthen both partners and partnerships.
