Order card laid in. The National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education sponsored the Committee on Strategic Education Research Partnership (SERP). The Strategic Education Research Partnership generates innovative, scalable solutions to our schools? most pressing problems through sustained collaborations among researchers, practitioners, and designers. We work to increase equity, improve student learning, and give teachers and students greater agency.

Much of the research is carried out in school settings. Research influences educational practice, and the outcomes in practice inform further research efforts.
