Abstract

Robust school-university partnerships can create continuous systems of educator learning that focus on systemic change and the simultaneous renewal of both educators and the organizations within which they work to improve outcomes, opportunities, and access for P-12 students and their teachers. This article is a case of the Project PREP school university partnership, a complex integrated systems approach towards rethinking recruitment, preparation, support, and development of diverse teachers and leaders. We show how Project PREP has begun to design aligned and enhanced systems for teacher education that embody clinical practice, coaching, and high-quality professional learning for both practicing and future teachers and leaders.
