About RTSP

Mission Statement

The Research Triangle Schools Partnership is a collaborative effort bringing together interdisciplinary faculty in the School of Education who are interested in partnerships with local school districts and communities designed to enhance student learning and family support, pre-service teacher education, in-service teacher professional development and doctoral training. The partnership provides an integrated model in pre-K-12 school contexts beneficial to all partners exploring teaching and learning across a continuum. We aim to work collaboratively with school and community partners to identify needs in the school community that also represent areas of interest and expertise for faculty members in the School of Education.
