q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Interview participants in the three content-specific communities, each convened three times a year, described how repeated interaction built trust enabling candid critique between districts. Self-reported perceptions; no effect size.

"Interacting with the same participants over many convenings helped generate mutual understanding and trust, which, in turn, helped them more freely give and receive critiques of one another's plans and processes, including suggested improvements."
