A Toolkit For Brokering Youth Pathways

Research Practice Partnerships, otherwise known as RPPs, are
important. Just like in any other field, good researchers are
constantly thinking about how to bring relevance and purpose to
their research. RPPs make strategic partners out of researchers
and practitioners to dig into what the field needs to know in the
present, and closely study what’s working and what’s not.


Guests from Hive Research Lab, New York University, and UC Irvine
discuss the recently-published Toolkit for Brokering Youth
Pathways, available online at Hiveresearchlab.org. Educators can
access a series of what they’re calling “practice briefs” for
youth programs to help realize promising (and sometimes
less-promising) methods for leveraging youth participation for
the purpose of building connections between too-often disparate
learning experiences.
