Partner Schools: School-University Collaboration
University faculty, teachers, and administrators work together in partner schools to improve the education of P-12 students and to improve the preparation of new teachers for the profession.
Partner Schools are designed to support simultaneous renewal—improvements in teacher education that lead to improvement in school operations and student learning which in turn leads to improvement in teacher education and so on.
Partner Schools are unique learning environments for:
- P-12 students
- Aspiring teachers and others preparing for new roles in schools (administrators, counselors, etc.)
- Experienced P-12 educators
- Professor from UC Denver’s School of education
- Professors from UC Denver’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Partner Schools were first established at the University of Colorado Denver in 1992. There are 28 partner schools across six districts:
- Adams 12 Five Star Schools
- Adams 14 Public Schools
- Aurora Public Schools
- Denver Public Schools
- Douglas County Public Schools
- Jefferson County Public Schools
UC Denver and the six districts of its partner schools are members of the Colorado Partnerships for educational Renewal (CoPER). In turn, CoPER is a member of John Goodlad’s National Network for Educational Renewal, based in Seattle, Washington.
