The six encounter types from Charlie's content-containers framework. Each is an assembled page built from the shared components below. This is how the team already frames content, so the pattern set maps onto it.
A short landing page that frames a downloadable file and captures an email at access.
Plain answers to the questions families and professionals ask most.
A how-to that turns research into a classroom or home routine.
An overview of a toolkit or kit, with the path to get it.
Explains what a body of research says and why it matters.
Step-by-step support for putting a program in place and keeping it going.
Opens every article and many landing pages. Light-blue band, back-link, centered bold black title, date. Sets the calm, credible tone before the serif body begins.
Slightly larger serif paragraph that frames the problem in plain language, never academic. One paragraph, no jargon.
Behavior interventions often begin with strong momentum. Schools dedicate time to professional development, staff feel energized, and early student progress is encouraging. But by the second year, many teams notice a shift, systems lose consistency and the original sense of urgency fades. While common, this pattern does not mean the intervention has failed.
Scannable summary near the top of an article. Blue circular check icons; 3–5 concise statements. Doubles as an at-a-glance abstract for busy practitioners.
The workhorse. Bold black sans heading over serif body. Descriptive headings, not generic labels.
One of the biggest reasons behavior initiatives stall is staff turnover and changing priorities. New teachers may not receive the same training as the original team, leading to inconsistent expectations. At the same time, schools balance many initiatives at once, academic recovery, attendance, testing, mental health, making it hard for behavior systems to stay central without intentional reinforcement from leadership.
Mid-article emphasis. Blue circular quote badge sits on a soft grey rounded box. Bold sans quote with attribution.
Successful behavior systems are not sustained through enthusiasm alone, they rely on consistent reinforcement, coaching, and shared expectations over time.
Johnathan Weber, University of KansasThree data callouts on a light surface with a blue top border. Big number leads, supporting caption beneath. Use for evidence summaries.
Quick-reference Q&A at the foot of articles and resource pages. Open item gets the full blue bar + minus; closed items grey + plus.
Reinforces academic credibility. Compact numbered list, blue links, set off by a hairline rule. Ties content back to the PI / institution.
Attribution that links an article to a Principal Investigator or partner, the "tied back to PI" pattern. Can link to full PI bio pages.
Converts a reader mid-content, to a related resource, a quote request, or a partner page. Solid blue panel, white button with gold dot.
Homepage / landing hero. Bold headline with one word in blue, serif sub, two pill CTAs with colored dots. (Copy reflects Trina's revised tagline.)
Research to Real World brings the best research-backed tools to the people who need them. Real research. Real tools. Real impact.
Primary entry point per the farmers-market model. Toggle switches between Topic and Audience. The four audience groups per the addendum are Families, Educators, Administrators, Policymakers, these also drive the storefront product filters.
Browse by topic or audience to quickly find the right support.
Featured / latest resources. Cards show topic + audience (not format/price) and a partner attribution chip, per the confirmed entity model.
Brief assessments that track growth toward kindergarten readiness.
A classwide system that boosts on-task behavior with positive reinforcement.
Self-paced professional learning for structured literacy instruction.
Partners moved out of the main nav into a bottom carousel/row. The RTRW brand recedes so partner brands stay prominent.
Social proof from a practitioner. Serif quote, sans attribution. Keeps the human, real-world voice central.
“With resources from Research to Real World, I feel more confident turning research into strategies that actually work in my classroom.”
The signature grid-of-squares-with-dots motif used as a section opener beneath major headings. Recedes by design; ties the page to the brand system.
Standardized resource detail layout: Description → What's Included → Evidence → Implementation. Empty tabs hide automatically.
The CW-FIT kit is a classwide group-contingency system that increases on-task behavior through positive reinforcement and clear expectations. Designed for general-education K–6 classrooms.
The four transaction types. Free download is a $0 WooCommerce product with a required billing email. Buy and Enroll link out to the item in KU's uStore (TouchNet); there is no on-site checkout. Course buyers get Moodle access granted manually by JG staff at launch. Request a Quote opens a routed WordPress form. Most JG offerings are quote-based.
Designed now, removed before the June 30 launch per committee decision, kept as a reusable pattern for later.
Catalog and commerce patterns plus the article templates. WooCommerce powers the catalog and CMS; paid items link out to KU's uStore (TouchNet) with no on-site checkout. Articles have no featured images, so the listing gets its design from a topic chip and a rotating brand-color accent. Quote forms route inquiries inside WordPress.
Browse the catalog. Literacy Bridges launches with 2 courses plus up to 20 downloadable resources. The filter rail uses the audience groups. Cards show price; free items download (after email capture) and paid items link out to the matching uStore product.
Self-paced professional learning, ~6 hours.
WordPress content frame (title, description tabs from #17, evidence) with a buy box docked right. Paid items link out to the uStore product; free items download after an email capture. No on-site cart.
A classwide system that increases on-task behavior through positive reinforcement and clear expectations. Includes implementation guide, materials, and coaching checklists.
The default CTA for most JG offerings (trainings, coaching, services). Conditional logic routes the inquiry to the correct project lead; sender gets a confirmation. Inquiries stored in WordPress.
Single post template: multi-author byline, social sharing, and a related-products module that surfaces catalog items sharing the post's category, the owned channel that promotes products without a full partner page.
…When teams pair coaching with a simple data routine, year-two drift drops sharply. Here's what that looks like in practice and the tools that make it sustainable.
Credential display for trust/E-E-A-T per the content-tools scope. Photo, role, credentials, and the author's published posts/resources below.
Unified results across content types (resource, article, video) with a type label on each. The filter chips reuse topic/audience taxonomy shared site-wide.
Classwide reinforcement system for on-task behavior.
What sustains coaching and data routines past launch year.
Lesson scripts, posters, and handouts for K–5.
Articles don't carry featured images, so each card gets its design from a topic chip, a bold title, and a top accent that rotates through the brand colors (blue → sky → wheat → crimson). Meta row carries date, author, and the partner (logo when available, text when not). Used on the Articles archive and the homepage "Latest Articles".

A full-width brand-blue statement that frames what RTRW is for. Serif body reversed on blue, left-aligned to the content edge, with a white outline button. Used on the homepage under Latest Articles.
Too often, educators, researchers, and organizations struggle to find trusted resources that connect research to real-world practice. When useful insights are hard to access or buried in academic language, meaningful support can feel out of reach.
With Research to Real World, that gap gets smaller. Our carefully curated resources make research-grounded ideas easier to explore, understand, and apply, so the people doing the work can move forward with confidence.
