The Research Collaboration lab provides professional development and evaluation for diverse education projects. As part of the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, we partner with state departments of education, districts, schools, educators, students, and families to improve education for all students. We are currently working on numerous projects spanning multiple states. Our role in these projects ranges from providing systematic professional development that promotes college and career competencies to evaluating the impact of educator professional development through utilization-focused evaluation.
