The authors describe how a university research center partners with intermediary organizations and high schools to use research methods to support particular goals. These researcher-practitioner partnerships establish goals, articulate effective strategies, and co-construct new approaches to address the challenges of school reform. The article presents two case studies. In the first, the center collaborated with a consortium of innovative secondary schools to build organization-wide capacity to use data to inform school-based decision making. In the second, the center collaborated with a school coach from a high school redesign intermediary to develop a process for using performance assessment data to spur a cross-disciplinary professional development focus on teaching writing. The cases demonstrate the critical importance of researcher-practitioner collaboration and research partners' responsiveness to the identified goals and emerging needs of partner organizations and of the schools and practitioners with whom they work.
