Partnerships between local K-12 schools and institutions of higher education are important because they give us direct access to children in our communities and provide a space to have these services. However, these partnerships bring certain challenges and can be some of the trickiest to navigate. This workshop will share best practices regarding initiating, formulating, and sustaining these types of partnerships based on our experiences. Using resources provided, participants will have an opportunity to reflect on the process of initiating these partnerships in their own contexts.
