Research Process @ MPS

Project Development > Application > Implementation > Integration

In order for outside research to benefit the Minneapolis Public Schools community, we encourage researchers and evaluators to develop collaborative projects with teachers, departments, and schools. As part of this approach, MPS asks that researchers plan enough time to develop a project, secure necessary school or department letters of support, have project reviewed by co-sponsor, and apply.
