Partnerships could replace single studies

Long-term partnerships, rather than one-off studies, may become the new norm for researchers looking for access and districts looking for answers.A forthcoming study commissioned by the William T. Grant Foundation, of New York City, finds more districts are developing long-term, structured relationships with researchers. It says the trend is driven by tight local budgets and an increased federal focus on making education research usable. (Sarah D. Sparks at Education Week)
