There is a large body of research that supports the reality that
school leaders make a significant contribution to the success of
schools and the students in them. Additionally, there is strong
agreement among and between researchers and state and national
educational leadership associations that educational leadership
preparation and development should be created and implemented
within university/ school partnerships. Although institutions
engage in forming university/school partnerships for varied
reasons, research on the extent to which these partnerships exist;
their organizational structures and processes;their implementation
and effectiveness; and elements that foster and hinder their
success is limited. Perhaps more importantly, there is not a widely
accepted, research-based model of such partnerships that
practitioners and researchers can use to guide the development and
assessment of these partnership endeavors and upon which they can
conduct effective research. This book seeks to fill these gaps. It
presents the purposes, processes, practices and outcomes of eleven
university/school partnerships focused on school leadership
preparation and/or development. Each chapter presents an overview
of the partnership, elements that fostered and hindered partnership
success, and lessons learned. The book concludes with a chapter
that summarizes findings across all chapters and presents a
school/university partnership model that can be used by those
interested in forming, improving or researching similar partnership
endeavors. There are no similar resources available in the field.
Thus, this book makes an important contribution to the literature
and to the world of practice and research.
