Creating, Sustaining, and Enhancing Purposeful School-University Partnerships: Building Connections Across Diverse Educational Systems explores third space school-university partnerships that are connected to initial and ongoing teacher education, adding to an important literature base with a focus on how these partnerships can be created, sustained, and enhanced, why they are important, and who they can benefit. Emeritus Professor Kenneth M. Zeichner, author of a seminal work on the third space in teacher education, provides a foreword for this edited book that brings together examples of purposeful school-university partnerships authored by academics and practitioners in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, the United States of America, Nepal, and Bhutan. This international cohort of contributing authors explores the life cycles and phases of school-university partnerships, the factors that enable and constrain them, and the effects they have on those involved through case studies, narrative vignettes, action research, and longitudinal research. The accounts shared throughout this book are thoughtful contributions to an expanding body of knowledge delving into the significance and importance of meaningful collaborations that build connections across all aspects of education.
