About the Community
Researchers Without Borders is a home for open research in education. It is a collaborative working environment in which researchers across academic institutions, disciplines, sectors, and levels of organizational structure can direct their efforts to solve shared problems, do collaborative research and development, and build productive working relationships and collaborations.
This community is the place to raise and discuss emerging issues, questions and ideas. RWB is currently focused on issues related to measuring fidelity of implementation and enactment of innovations and sustainability of innovations. If you are interested in suggesting an RWB effort, make a posting in the forum.
Researchers Without Borders is an initiative of the University of Chicago's Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education.
