The identification of units, researchers, and projects is a first step in planning and…

To avoid the rejection of research findings, researchers and practitioners should jointly plan and conduct research. The SUPER Project is such a collaborative effort. It connects theory and practice in ways that are most useful to teachers and significant to researchers as they work together and learn each other's priorities. (VM)
