District Research Projects

The District Research Projects are partnerships between districts and researchers to use research to address pressing needs in Connecticut. All districts in Connecticut were invited to propose research topics that would be useful to them to support improvements to practices and outcomes for teachers, administrators, and students. CCERC then invited researcher across Connecticut to apply to work on the proposed projects. Through this matching process 8 partnerships were selected to move forward and receive funds to complete research and subsequent professional learning.
