This study explores the literature on knowledge mobilization networks.
Research DesignThis study used a five-stage scoping review process to uncover 80 articles included in the final analysis.
FindingsWe propose a model for understanding the organization and work of RPPs emerging from our review. At the core lies shared goals, co-production, and multi-stakeholder collaboration organized around three dimensions:
(1) Systems and structures: funding, governance, strategic roles, policy environment, system alignment;
(2) Collaborative Processes: improvement planning and data use, communication, trusting relationships, brokering activities, capacity building;
(3) Continuous Learning: social innovation, implementation, evaluation, and adaptation.
ImplicationsOur RPP model can be used to further study and/or build RPPs in K-12 education sectors.
