Abstract: As part of the Community College Research Center's (CCRC) Analysis of Statewide Developmental Education Reform Learning Assessment Study, Wake Technical Community College's partner team believes the recommendation and implications in the CCRC's Developmental Reading and English Assessment in a Researcher-Practitioner Partnership. Working Paper No. 85 (Perin, Raufman, & Kalamkarian, 2015) are biased as a direct result of an imbalanced researcher-practitioner partnership. In this first-hand account, we provide insight into how valuable a mutually respectful researcher-practitioner partnership is to the design of research methodologies and subsequently the authenticity of a study's data.
