The Center for Educational Renewal at the University of Washington surveyed institutions in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming which are members of the National Network for Educational Renewal, requesting information on the institutions' partner schools. The descriptions provided by the institutions are presented in this directory. The following information is given for each partner school listed: school name; grade levels; address; phone; principal name; school district; name, address, and phone number for university contact person; scope of mission; governance; and funding.

Clark Senior Associate December 1992 3 PARTNER SCHOOLS The Center for Educational Renewal at the University of Washington is working with a number of institutions around the country who are seeking to strengthen their teacher education programs. As a Senior Associate in the Center, I am concentrating on issues which arise when school districts and colleges connect as part of the effort to enhance schools and the education of educators. Recently, experts have been suggesting this point of connection should be in a Professional Development School. We are referring to such schools as Partner Schools. Professional Development Schools have been given a variety of names such as key schools, professional practice schools, professional development centers. and educational development centers. We are calling them partner schools, partially because "Professional Development School" is a term that is being applied to too many different kinds of institutions. Also, we are using "partner schools" as our preferred term because it is e' isential in the long run that they be operated by a partnership of the university's school or department of education, the college of arts and sciences, and the schools used for clinical experiences. DEFINITION A Partner School is one which simultaneously provides (1) an exemplary education for a segment of 11-12 children, (2) internships and other educational experiences for prospective teachers and administrators. and (3) continuing education for membess of the profession. Governance and funding are joint responsibilities of participating school districts and institutions of higher education. The clinical experiences in these renewing settings should be carefully planned as integrated parts of the education of educators. DESCRIPTION OF SURVEY Teacher educators around the country report they are at work creating such schools. Some of these institutions are similar to the preceding definition, others have either broader or narrower missions. During the summer and early fall of 1991 and 1992.1 requested institutions which are members of the National Network for Educational Renewal associated with the Center for Educational Renewal at the University of Washington to provide some basic information about their schools. They were asked to share the following information for each school associated with their institution: 1. Name of School 2. Grade Levels (e.g. K-5, 9-12) 3. Address 4 4. Phone 5. Principal 6. School District, City, and State 7. Name, Address, and Phone Number for University Contact Person 8. Describe briefly the scope of the mission; i.e., pre-service, in-service, exemplary program for children. 9. Describe briefly the governance. Who makes the decisions concerning various aspects of the schools operation? 10. Describe briefly the funding. To what extent is their more funding than for other schools in the same district? Who provides it? The following example was provided to institutions to understand the kind of information I was seeking. 1. Odle 2. Middle School (Grades 6-8) 3. 14401 NE 8th St, Bellevue, WA 98007 4. (206) 455-6211 5. Ian Armitage (PDS Coordinator Chris Val Spinosa) 6. Bellevue Public Schools. Bellevue, Washington 7.

Program direction provided by advisory council consisting of university, school, school district, and union representatives. 10. Extra staffing provided for supervision of the interns and program development by the district and the university. District provides equivalent of .6 FTE and $25,000 in extra funding. University provides for professors who serve as resident faculty on short-term basis in addition to normal supervision of interns. Grants from Ford and Carnegie have helped with development.
