Creating an Elementary to College Education Pipeline through a University-School-Community Partnership
Norris, Katherine E. L.; Martin, Gerardina L.
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, v25 n1 p103-116 2021
Higher education institutions are in a great position to create authentic programming to support local underfunded or underperforming public school districts. This article gives an overview of an education outreach collaborative between a 4-year public university, local schools, and a community institution and highlights lessons learned from the project. This community outreach program emphasizes literacy, social justice, and college preparation. It consists of a fifth grade literacy program, a high school tutoring and mentoring program, and a scholarship program for precollege students, all situated within a local public school system. Literature reviewed shows how collaborative projects can be utilized to support community outreach programs using university resources. Preliminary results from impact measures show positive outcomes among program participants. The program can be replicated in similarly situated university-school-community collaboratives.
