Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of twenty-one articles describes collaborative efforts that succeed in a particular teacher education institution and that have promise for other places. The book embodies inclusiveness and variety rather than a narrow conception of partnerships. The articles tell of efforts to reform, build bridges, enhance practice, and increase diversity. In every instance the number of de facto participating faculty members of a particular department of school increases because of the new relationships that are established. The number of available good ideas increases as well. Partnerships is the last in a four-part series which addresses key issues involving teacher education in liberal arts settings.
