ABSTRACT
This is a case study of a middle
school in the western part of the United States (U.S.) and a secondary
education program in the College of Education at the University of Nevada Reno
(UNR). The partnership began as a grant-funded activity as part of the science,
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) college-wide program and has grown
into a systematic and highly collaborative partnership that is reciprocal and
focuses on teacher preparation and teacher in-service. This paper describes
a systematic study of the first year of implementation and captures the voices
of multiple players: university professors, field-based faculty, school support
liaisons for practice and internships, and university supervisors. The first
year of this relationship grew from a grant-funded initiative with a focus on STEM
to a well-developed and research-based school-university partnership based on
content beyond STEM.
