Description

These poignant words of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King laid the foundation for this inner-city school-university project designed to promote harmony and understanding among students of all ages, and to bring about positive action in the community. School/university partnerships pave the way for improved teaching and learning practices and resultant enhanced student performances (Gieselmann, 2008/09; Vygotsky, 1978). Effective school and university partnerships instill a sense of cohesion and teamwork (Gieselmann, 2008/09; Teitel, 2008). Such partnerships range in duration and focus, and include family literacy programs, grants and research-based projects, afterschool clubs, resource sharing, storybook workshops, student support groups, teacher training, and even pen pal programs. Some programs, such as family literacy programs, educate and support parents as school volunteers, thereby encouraging the transfer of learning, reading, and writing skills into the home and family environment (Holloway, 2004).
