Collaboratories as a Vehicle for Investing in the Improvement of Education: Reflections on the Illuminative Case of the Research+Practice Collaboratory
Direct linkDirect link
St. John, Mark – Inverness Research, 2018
The Research+Practice Collaboratory provides a compelling case that illustrates the ways in which the collaboratory structure--which is distinct from partnerships, centers, consortia, and other common structures--can make Grand Challenges in education "investable." The collaboratory structure, we suggest, has features that allow…

Combining Researchers' and Practitioners' Intelligences for STEM Improvement: A Study of the Local Labs of the Research and Practice Collaboratory
Direct linkDirect link
Stokes, Laura; Carroll, Becky; Helms, Jenifer V.; Mitchell, Heather; Phillips, Michelle; St. John, Mark; Tambe, Pamela – Inverness Research, 2018
The Research and Practice Collaboratory (RPC) supported projects in three states--California, Maine, and Washington--that had the function of serving as "Local Labs" for the RPC. While these labs worked independently on specific, local STEM improvement problems, RPC leaders held themselves to shared conjectures (cite) about their work…
