DR-K12 Resource Network

这是一个为期五年的项目，旨在组织一个DRK-12资源网络，为研究和开发方法、实施和分析程序等领域的项目提供援助；综合整个项目组合的发现；以及在全国范围内传播DRK-12项目的研发贡献。为了实现这些目标，教育发展中心（EDC）将与Abt Associates Inc.和政策研究协会共同努力，实施三个主要方面：(1)技术援助，包括(a)组合评估，根据组成和主要特征定义组合，并确定项目需求，(b)为项目领导提供个人技术工作服务，(c)焦点小组，(d)专题会议，(e)首席研究员会议，以及(f)门户网站；(2)项目组合分析，包括(a)综合活动，以获取项目组合的综合视图，以了解该项目在促进K-12学生和教师学习方面所起的作用，以及(b)选定项目的评估研究，描述对该领域的具体贡献；(3)传播，包括(a)撰写白皮书，总结在实践和政策设置中传播和实施研究的研究成果，并突出研究组合中的例子，以及(b)一系列与传播有关的讲习班。

This is a five-year project aimed at organizing a DRK-12 Resource Network to provide assistance for projects in areas such as research and development methods, implementation, and analysis procedures; synthesis of findings across the portfolio of projects; and national dissemination of the R&D contributions of the DRK-12 program. To accomplish these goals, Education Development Center (EDC) will join efforts with Abt Associates Inc., and Policy Studies Associates to implement three major strands: (1) Technical Assistance, which consists of (a) a portfolio assessment to define it in terms of composition and major characteristics and identify project needs, (b) individual technical work services to project leadership, (c) focus groups, (d) thematic meetings, (e) Principal Investigators (PI) meetings, and (f) a web portal; (2) Portfolio Analysis, including (a) synthesis activities to capture a comprehensive view of the portfolio in order to understand the role that the program has played in advancing K-12 student and teacher learning, and (b) evaluative studies of selected projects describing specific contributions to the field; and (3) Dissemination, comprising (a) the development of a white paper to summarize research findings on dissemination and implementation of research in practice and policy settings and highlight examples from the portfolio, and (b) a series of dissemination-related workshops.
