Partners | The New Literacies Research Lab

We Treasure Our Many Partners As We Work Together For Teachers and Students

Partners in Research, Practice, and Policy

Change is never easy. It requires collaborative work in research, practice, and policy with many partners. We treasure our relationships with schools, state departments of education, regional organizations, national organizations, and organizations abroad. Our partnerships with these units have served to advance a common agenda — conducting research to understand the changing nature of literacy while supporting teachers and students with developing the new forms of literacy that define life and learning in online times. Our partnerships have included work with all of the following groups:
