RPP EFFECTIVENESS AND HEALTH TOOL KIT

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

This suite of tools is the result of almost five years of collaborative work between members of NNERPP, NCRPP, and other RPPers. We set out wanting to understand more about the Dimensions of RPP Effectiveness (Henrick et al., 2017) and how we might “see” or measure those Dimensions across diverse RPP contexts. As shown in the figure below, our process has involved a range of interviews, survey development, and bringing together different RPP perspectives in conversation.

OUR TEAM

Many people have contributed to the development of these tools and the related research. Here, we list them in alphabetical order.

Kim Wright

In addition, since 2019, many people have contributed to the revision of the RPP framework and to designing, testing, and refining related tools at different points in time and in various ways. We are grateful to:

• the individuals who joined us in January 2020 to bring together technical, practical, and theoretical expertise on RPPs
• the over 300 members of RPPs who participated in interviews, completed surveys, tested tools, and provided critical feedback
• the participants in workshops and meetings hosted at the National Network of Education Research Practice Partnerships (NNERPP) Annual Forum and related events
