Building and Sustaining University- Community Research Partnerships in an Urban Context Insights Offered by “The Trilogy” Presented by Jill M. Feldman, Ph.D. Research for Better Schools

Overview Reflect on trilogy experiences using ratings/ heuristic offered by authors Identify intersections between trilogy accounts and research Highlight factors identified in the literature that contribute to effective partnership efforts

Institutional Commitments Personal Attributes & Beliefs Research Base Situational Context Heuristic for School District – University Partnership (Cooter et al., 2008)

A Review of Each Partnership’s Heuristic Ratings

Heuristic Ratings District-University Partnership Dallas Reading Plan (K-6)

Heuristic Ratings District-University Partnership Memphis Literacy Academy/MLA (K-5; Sp Ed)

A Comparison of Partnerships’ Heuristic Ratings

Program Comparisons of Heuristic Ratings

Supporting Research about Effective University-Community Collaborations

The Most Effective Partnerships … are initiated by the public school partner –designed with the practice-based needs of teachers in mind –favor application over theory value the knowledge possessed within each entity –acknowledge the benefits of “bumping together” –perceive benefits & goals as mutually beneficial & interdependent –involve tenured university faculty are situated in an authentic problem (linked with school goals) focus on improving student achievement

Suggestions for Sustaining Capacity Building Partnerships View partnerships as a “way of life” (versus “project”) Collaboratively develop and deliver PD Elicit support from school boards –Hire (and fire) superintendents –Potential to provide a stable source of ongoing support Enlist support from teacher associations (unions) –Major provider of teacher PD
