Partnerships
DERDC collaborates with many research and public service centers, state and federal agencies, and non-profit organizations and foundations to strengthen public policies and practices and to improve organizational effectiveness and management. Some partnerships are on-going and others are short-term, limited to particular projects.
The Delaware Academy for School Leadership (DASL) acts as the “D” of the R&D Center. Its staff provides professional development to Delaware’s educational leaders and serves as a strong advocate for educational policy issues.
