Morrison, Ed. D.  \nResearch Associate III, University of Delaware’s Center for Research in Education and Social Policy (CRESP)  \nAbdul-Malik Muhammad, Ed. D.  \nCEO and Founding Team Member,  \nAkoben, LLC  \nNgozi Magena, M.S.  \nProject Manager, Akoben, LLC  \nIntroduction  \nFor over a decade, scholars have reported on the importance of research-practice partnerships (RPPs), particularly for bridging the gap between academia and K-12 institutions. Some authors have elaborated on RPPs’ promise in facilitating data use in decision-making (Tseng, 2012) and improving problems faced by practitioners (Donovan, 2013) . Henrick and colleagues’ (2017) describe five dimensions of research-practice partnership effectiveness with the first dimension focusing on “Building trust and cultivating partnership relationships.” This brief aims to contribute to understandings of successful relationship-building practices in RPPs via a case study involving an Institution of Higher Education (IHE) and a consulting company that provides training and professional learning around restorative practices (RP) in P12 schools.  \nResearch around RPPs: Relationship-Building Matters  \nResearch-practice partnerships (RPPs) have been characterized as long-term collaborations between researchers and practice-professionals for studies on processes, dynamics, and outcomes related to a particular practice (Coburn & Penuel, 2016) . One common thread in research on RPPs in education (Coburn & Penuel, 2016; Tseng et al., 2017) and health (Ovretveit et al., 2014; Riemer et al., 2012) has been the importance of relationship-building. Several authors have attested to the significance of strong relationships in RPPs. For instance, Reback and colleagues (2002) noted the importance of creating equal partnerships that provide all partners the opportunity to shape the research agenda. Similarly, Riemer et al.(2012) and Ovretveit and colleagues (2014) recognized that shared power in research design was essential to partnerships  \n[udel.edu/ppe](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ |](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ ppe-info@udel.edu](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)[ |](udel.edu/ppe | ppe-info@udel.edu |)  @UDPPE  \nbetween researchers and organizational leaders. Specifically, in terms of university-practice partnerships, Riemer and colleagues (2012) asserted that:  \nSeveral authors also noted that time commitments from partners (Riemer et al., 2012; Baker et al., 1999) and regular communication and information sharing (Baker et al., 1999) lead to strong relationships. These studies on RPPs show how developing bonds are fundamental to RPPs and lead to fruitful, mutually beneficial collaborations for both researchers and partnering organizations.  \nThe idea of true partnership implies that the different stakeholders are equitably involved in establishing joint goals; contribute their unique strengths and expertise; and make joint decisions in all important aspects of the development, research, and implementation process.  \n(Riemer et al., 2012, p. 249)  \nCase Study Context: The Research Practice Partners  \nThe Restorative Practices (RP) Consultant  \nThe RP consultant partner in this case study was a professional development and coaching company that provides workshops and ongoing training on restorative practices (RP) to schools, teachers, administrators, and staff across the United States. This partnership specifically involved the RP consultant’s CEO and founder and its Project Coordinator. For almost a decade, their organization has worked with several schools and districts across the country to train, professionally develop and regularly coach educators in terms of intentionally fostering safe, inclusive, and responsive learning communities for students.  \nThe Institution of Higher Education (IHE) Partner  \nThe Center for Research in Education and Social ","cbCaiv9K4EsGvgJ0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv9K4EsGvgJ0","pdf",281143,"English","# Introduction\n# Research around RPPs: Relationship-Building Matters\n# Case Study Context: The Research Practice Partners\n## The Restorative Practices (RP) Consultant\n## The Institution of Higher Education (IHE) Partner\n## The School Partners and Settings","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the practice brief?\",\"answer\":\"To explain successful relationship-building practices in research-practice partnerships (RPPs) through a case study involving an institution of higher education and a restorative-practices consulting company.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do relationship-building activities matter in RPPs?\",\"answer\":\"Research cited in the brief links strong relationships to equal partnership structures, shared power in research design, regular communication, and sustained time commitments among partners.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the partnership between the IHE and the RP consultant begin?\",\"answer\":\"The relationship started when the authors met at a restorative practices workshop in Fall 2018, later leading the IHE researcher to seek an RPP fellowship and coordinate research intentions with the RP consultant.\"}]","PRACTICE BRIEF - Building Successful Relationships in ResearchPractice Partnerships (RPPs) - A Case Study | PDF",1792059111,18]
