Overview
This edited volume broadens the discussion on Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPs) in education by extending the focus beyond the US context, providing an in-depth exploration of an RPP designed to enable partnering schools to evaluate and understand pedagogical processes or practices through engagement in school-based research. Integrating current literature, case studies depicting RPP dynamics, and research findings, this book demonstrates how RPPs transcend traditional boundaries, bring together diverse educational stakeholders, and expand perspectives to inform educational practices and policies. In addition to providing a theoretical review of the RPP framework and its application in the field of education, the chapters present several case studies that address key aspects of school partnerships, including collaborative development, role formation, conflict resolution, and more. This book ultimately supports a broader understanding of the RPPs’ workings and dynamics through unique perspectives from academic faculty members and practitioners. Contributing to a more conceptual understanding of RPPs that paves the way for transformative advancements in educational research, this book will appeal to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students interested in RPP research and practice, and teachers and teacher education more broadly. Policymakers and third-party organizations considering how to create, shape, and fund new RPPs may also find this book of use.

Reviews
“This book advances the field’s understanding of how context matters for the processes and outcomes of education research-practice partnerships. This comprehensive book allows readers to explore how conditions in the Israeli educational context compare to the existing RPP research.” Laura Wentwaorth, Director of Research-Practice Partnership Program, California Education Partners “This book offers readers a penetrating, detailed and refreshingly honest look at the messy and contradictory world of research-practice partnerships. The authors, who include teachers, teacher educators and researchers, unveil the variety of interests, motivations, roles, identities, and perspectives of the partners in an Israeli teacher research partnership. It invites the field to take seriously the contexts in which we seek to construct partnerships – organizational, cultural, systemic, national contexts -- that make those partnerships so challenging and so necessary.” Adam Lefstein, Morton L. Mandel Director, Seymour Fox School of Education, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
