Abstract

Innovative collaboration between schools and university can enhance teacher education. This model was developed as part of a partnership between a school principal leading a cluster of diverse primary schools, and a local university school of teacher education. The partnership established a memorandum of understanding to support targeted and standards-based professional learning for teachers and new leaders across the schools in the cluster. Novice pre-service teachers were also assigned to these schools for an extended weekly professional placement. This session outlines the model as it was designed: to respond to the strategic demands of particular school communities, as well as to ensure teaching and leadership development for pre-service and in-service teachers. The session will explain the model’s conceptual and research base for professional learning. It will identify practical theories for skill and leadership development in pre-service and in-service teacher education respectively.
