This text highlights partnerships between schools and teacher
preparation programs where candidates have opportunities to learn
in their coursework alongside teachers in the classroom in clinical
settings, bridging the theory?practice divide and helping
candidates better understand the simultaneous and multi?dimensional
nature of teaching and learning in schools. All of the authors in
this text describe how their programs go beyond informal
arrangements and include a collaborative relationship between the
school and university. As a Handbook of Resources, this text
provides details about roles, relationships, expectations,
organizational structures, and the challenges of partnerships,
which will help those who wish to establish a clinically?based
model and move confidently from vision to implementation. The
authors of the chapters clearly describe the details of their
partnerships so their stories can be a resource for others in
similar contexts or situations. In doing so, each chapter
highlights the different ways to develop partnerships, as well as
provides opportunities for universities, schools, and districts
with established partnerships to share their stories, wisdom, and
expertise and offer inspiration, encouragement, and ideas. The
authors of these chapters acknowledge the tensions inherent in the
process of developing, implementing, and sustaining an effective,
viable partnership by providing insight into how challenges are
addressed at different stages of a partnership and what benefits,
successes, and differing perspectives exist in this type of
relationship. There are a variety of schools represented in this
body of work??rural, suburban, private, public, large research
intensive, and small private. By design, we believe any school can
find themselves in this text as the authors offer suggestions and
ideas that can be implemented in other structures. With that said,
we want to emphasize that the examples provided are meant to
inspire creativity and possibility as programs develop partnerships
rather than offer a wholesale approach or a recipe. Viewing the
reader as the expert at their institution, this text offers
insights into ways to shape the ideas and structures to fit their
