Produktbeschreibung
This volume explores the challenges and promise of university-school partnerships as a vehicle for improving our public schools. Reporting on the experience of Erikson Institute's Schools Project--an 11-year initiative involving nine public elementary schools in low-income Chicago neighborhoods--the authors describe a variety of school-based interventions and provide valuable lessons for building effective university-school partnerships. Speaking to today's important issues, this book: * Covers a range of topics in early childhood education (pre-K-Grade 3), including high-stakes standardized testing, a child-centered curriculum, the social-emotional development of children, behavioral management, and the effective uses of technology. * Emphasizes the quality and nature of the partner relationship as the critical factor in the process of achieving school change. * Incorporates the voices and opinions of both sides of the partnership, revealing the varied issues and competing agendas that shape these collaborations. * Summarizes the major lessons learned, offering experience-based guidance on building and sustaining a university-school partnership that can serve as a foundation for improved teaching and learning, especially with young urban children.
