More Information
Summary:By careful analysis of the information, we have gleaned a strong sense of support for the renewal of teacher education and strengthening of partnerships with the participating public schools in these specific settings. While there are minor concerns regarding administrative structure and governance, there continues to be strong support for related renewal activities such as the PEP program and the use of advisory councils with the partner schools. The evaluation evidence was conclusive as sustained conversation regarding the agenda of simultaneous renewal did occur under the auspices of this funded project. The evaluators believe that the model developed and used to assess this renewal effort has transportability to other sites seeking to evaluate multi-institution collaborative.
