Description

A University of Chicago Consortium framework that treats research as public, relational, and adaptive infrastructure through long-term, place-based, reciprocal partnerships with education practitioners and communities.

Components

  • Research-practice partnership model treating research as public, relational, and adaptive infrastructure: The UChicago Consortium's model treats research "as an active force for continuous improvement, not a static product," using mixed-methods inquiry embedded in practice rather than expecting practitioners to implement programs proven effective elsewhere with fidelity. Knowledge production is reciprocal: inquiry shapes practice and practice shapes inquiry, through co-design, participatory inquiry, and cross-disciplinary synthesis. The model rests on long-term, place-based engagement and trust-based partnerships with students, families, educators, and system leaders, positioning research as "public, relational, and adaptive infrastructure." (Porter et al. (2026))
