Modeled after a little known historical model and based on the research of Vanessa Siddle Walker, Living the Legacy of African American Education: A Model for University and School, describes a sustainable and authentic partnership between a university and its K-12 partners. Designed for school, district leaders, and college instructors this practical guide provides a narrative of how a group of graduate students, a professor and seven school partners planned, executed, and engaged K-12 partners in three major professional development opportunities. This book chronicles a partnership that engaged K-12 leaders in an authentic and mutually beneficial partnership. Designed to be instructive, this book can be used to plan partnerships as well as a serve as a check list to design, maintain, and refine similar partnerships. This book also provides valuable lessons learned at the end of each chapter that can be used as others form K–12 partnerships.
