School-University Partnership Research SIG 79


SIG Purpose

The purpose of the School-University Partnership Research SIG (SUPR SIG) is to provide individuals engaged in research about School-University Partners with a forum for discussion and a space for mutual support.  The SUPR SIG encourages thoughtful and rigorous research which emanates from a variety of theoretical perspectives and utilizes many different investigative approaches and methods, while remaining faithful to the core principles of the SUP movement influenced by the Holmes group in the 1980’s (Holmes Group, 1986, 1990), the National Network for Educational Renewal, and the Research Practice Partnership movement.  The SUPR SIG facilitates and encourages opportunities for inquiry, reflection, critique and collaboration among school-university partnerships representing all levels of the educational process and from all types of institutions and settings committed to improving PK-12 and Higher Education Educator Development.
