Description

This book relates twelve case studies about projects taking place in a School/University/Community Partnership Network. Participants work together as partners to better the education experiences and the lives of community members in the region. This book of cases is intended for an audience interested in how educational and community partnerships take shape and how they look in practice. The action in these case studies proved to be catalytic, spurring new ideas and new projects. The editors hope that readers connect with the varying narratives that the thirty-five contributing authors share on the subject of School/University/Community partnerships.
