The Spencer Foundation’s Research-Practice Partnerships: Collaborative Research for Educational Change program supports research (and related activities) pertaining to the processes, practices, and policies that improve education for learners, educators, families, communities, and institutions where learning and teaching happen. At a time when many problems of practice and policy require multiple perspectives and long-term engagement, the Foundation views partnerships as vital for knowledge generation and the improvement of education. It’s expected that partnerships will foreground issues connected to inequality in education and articulate how the project will disrupt the deepening of such inequalities.
