About SERP
“SERP field sites are structured as a set of three closely connected, and partially overlapping, groups: The Core Group, The Design Team, and the Research Team.”
The SERP field site Research Team
The SERP Research team works on the ground in the schools, interacting with teachers, coaches, principals and others, observing and documenting existing practices, helping to introduce interventions and improvements, and collecting data of a variety of types (including video tapes) for research, evaluation, and professional development purposes.
Leadership
The research teams are led by highly regarded senior researchers, and include junior researchers, post-docs, and research assistants who, over time, will deepen the bench of researchers prepared to work in highly collaborative, interdisciplinary teams in practice settings.
The field site can also provide opportunities for participating researchers to hold seminars or a practicum for graduate students related to the targeted area of work, to the benefit of the universities’ education programs, the graduate students, and the district’s schools.
