IN 2021, LER MAINTAINED COLLABORATIONS WITH MAJOR PARTNERSHIPS CONDUCTING EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH IN K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA, MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, AND MASSACHUSETTS. IN ADDITION, LER LAUNCHED NEW PARTNERSHIPS RELATED TO THE STUDY OF EQUITABLE PRACTICES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY DATA SCIENCES FOR PROJECT-BASED LEARNING. IN FEBRUARY, A PRESS RELEASE RELATED TO PROJECT-BASED LEARNING RESEARCH FINDINGS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT PICK-UP IN EDUCATION RELATED MAGAZINES AND OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. A COLLABORATION WITH EDUTOPIA ALSO FACILITATED THE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE RESEARCH FINDINGS. UPON COMPLETION OF THIS CAMPAIGN, LER SHIFTED THE FOCUS TO NEW PARTNERSHIPS FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN AND STUDY OF INTEGRATED STUDIES IN PROJECT BASED LEARNING. THIS WORK STARTED WITH A LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS AND LITERATURE REVIEW TO DEVELOP THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THIS TRANSITION OF THE RESEARCH PROGRAMS FOR 2022.
