DESIGN, BUILD, LAUNCH, SUSTAIN TEXAS EDUCATION RESEARCH-PRACTICEPOLICY

The Texas Education RP3 Network is a dynamic and growing network of existing regional partnerships between researchers and practitioners who are dedicated to accelerating and amplifying collaborative education research. Through ongoing commitment to address urgent and timely problems of practice and policy, the Network co-generates knowledge, tools and resources necessary to drive equitable improvements for students, schools and communities across the entire state.

Built around collaborative education research, the Texas Education Research Practice Policy Partnership Network is rooted in authentic engagement with community members and focused on urgent and timely problems of practice and policy identified locally.

Over the next three to five years, the RP3 Network aims to:

• Emerge as a vital and trusted source for actionable evidencebased products and experiences that teachers, school and district administrators, policymakers and other education advocates can quickly access, easily understand, and effectively use to advance improvement efforts locally and across the state.

• Flexibly and swiftly mobilize partners on policy priorities to position the state to be responsive to future crises like the pandemic that pose a threat to sustained student success, and to accelerate efforts to scale practices and policies that will allow students to thrive.

• Cultivate and grow the community of researchers who adopt this inclusive and collaborative research model to ensure Texas leads the nation in translating research to practice in ways that propel students and communities to bright and prosperous futures.
