Our partnership
Since 2020, WEPC researchers have partnered with Boston Public Schools and the Boston Teachers Union to study how teacher-led professional learning through the Telescope Network is making an impact on teachers, schools, and the district. This research-practice partnership began with two years of embedded qualitative case studies examining how participation in the Telescope Network’s learning opportunities influences teacher practice. Building on this foundational work, the partnership has expanded to include the Research Partnership for Professional Learning at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University and is now generating descriptive and causal evidence of the Telescope Network’s district-wide impact using longitudinal data.
