Background and Introduction Background and Introduction School-University Partnerships: Proven to be reliable in: Unfortunately can create: Contemporary research ● Accomplishing specific tasks ● Unequal power dynamics suggests: ● Implementing new programs where universities benefit ● School-university ● Addressing PD needs more than partnering partnerships be ● Strengthening school- schools (Darling-Hammond, conceptualized with ‘third 1994; Walsch & Backe, 2013). university relationships for space’ ideology so future partnerships (Wepner, success of one partner is 2014). vital to success of the other (Zeichner, 2010; Walsch and Backe, 2013).

  9. Initial Aims Initial Aims Aim 2. Aim 2. Evaluate the Aim 1. Aim 1. Evaluate a PD series effectiveness of information for all self -contained SETs sessions to other stakeholders interested in learning more (i.e., administrators, family about classroom management members) to foster a strategies. continuum of support across settings (i.e., school, home).

  10. RESEARCH STUDY RESEARCH STUDY Phase I During the first phase, all teachers will attend an intensive PD prior to the school year beginning. Summer PD We will complete a pre -test-posttest design to evaluate group performance on knowledge and efficacy. The second phase will occur during the school year. Phase II Across phase II we will determine the potential for Project CHAMPION to (a) change teachers’ classroom management knowledge and practices, (b) determ Follow -up collateral effects on students with disabilities, and (c) measure teachers’ self - efficacy and burnout.

  14. Reality of a School Reality of a School -University Partnership University Partnership ● Co-PIs on the Grant = Multiple Stakeholders ○ Pros: Many hands makes light work ○ Cons: Many hands - Different priorities (research vs. decor) ● Priorities Changed - Content did not match the original dependent variable (measure) ● Constant communication is necessary ● District - Better read of the room ● Budget

  15. Benefits Benefits District District University University Consistency across the district Invested collaborators Leverage Resources - Access to schools (research, evaluation, evidence -based preservice teachers) practices Socially valid research questions Building a pipeline from higher education to the classroom District Co -PI Guest Lectures at Multiple stakeholders echoing Clemson the same message

  16. Next Steps Next Steps Run analysis on Phase II observations Seeking additional foundation funding Spring boarding into other projects Expansion across the district Reignite the partnership with Clemson
