Much of the conventional wisdom around teacher professional learning isn’t backed up by good research. Join leaders from the Research Partnership for Professional Learning (RPPL) and the Annenberg Institute at Brown University to bust some myths about effective teacher development. RPPL’s Chair and Vice Chair will also share updates on RPPL and details on becoming an affiliate organization–giving you access to our findings and joining the effort to improve professional learning for educators.

The Annenberg Institute will host Preeya Mbekeani for a discussion of her research on educational opportunity and school effectiveness. Drawing on her work in education research, she will explore how evidence can inform policies and practices that support student success, strengthen schools, and advance equity. The talk will highlight the role of rigorous research in helping educators and policymakers better understand the factors that shape student outcomes and improve educational opportunities.
