Both established and new research-practice partnerships are invited to apply. They require deep engagement of researchers and practitioners during the collaborative research on problems of practice that are co-defined and of value to researchers and education agencies, for example, a school district or community of schools.ĭue to the success of the 2017 workshops in building capacity for Computer Science for All (CSforAll) partnerships, proposals, and implementation plans, the partners will be repeating the research-practice partnership (RPP) development workshops in early 2018. These studies have less prescriptive research designs and methods, with research occurring in rapid, iterative, and context-expanding cycles. The focus is on succeeding when implemented at scale. RPPs aim to strengthen the capacity of an organization to reliably produce valued CS and CT education outcomes for diverse groups of students, educated by different teachers from varied organizational contexts. The Collaboratory had the pleasure of hosting interactive workshops for the Bruins-In-Genomics (B.I.G.) Summer Research Program. These courses are also available for non-UCLA affiliates upon request. Specifically, the program solicitation states: In summary, the Collaboratory offers expert computational and bioinformatics support services to UCLA faculty, staff, and students: Training Workshops We offer interactive workshops taught by fellows on the latest next-generation sequencing techniques. This course is a pre-requisite for several other Collaboratory workshops. The Computer Science for All program solicitation from the National Science Foundation focuses on the importance of researcher-practitioner partnerships (RPPs) in supporting computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education. TAC is a weekly workshop run by SAJE staff and volunteering lawyers who educate low income tenants in Los Angeles County (predominantely Latinos, Hispanic and African American families) about their rights and advise them when they are faced with unlawful evictions and issues to do with inhabitability of their homes (i.e. Workshop Description (Introductory Course). Computer Science for All Research-Practice Partnership WorkshopsĪ partnership between the Research + Collaboratory, University of Washington, Northwestern University, and UCLA.
