We are honored to be highlighted by the Spencer Foundation as a featured grantee. Spencer launched a new grant program to support research-practice partnerships in 2015, and the ODE/OSU ELL Partnership was one of seven partnerships funded as part of their first cohort.

At the American Educational Research Association’s annual meeting in 2017, we had the opportunity to join with other partnerships in this cohort to share lessons learned. Our contribution to this session focused on the affordances and constraints of research-practice partnerships at the state level.

As a featured grantee, we provide information on Spencer’s website about our partnership, related publications, and additional materials. We are excited about this opportunity to share our work and potentially spark ideas for those involved in launching or sustaining research-practice partnerships.
