This webinar will explore how we have developed and sustained mutually transformative, democratic partnerships between universities and local K-12 schools through University-Assisted Community Schools (UACS). Staff from Penn’s Netter Center for Community Partnerships and faculty from Binghamton University will discuss lessons learned from academic partnerships that connect the university and K-12 curricula through projects that help to solve community-identified local problems, from environmental injustice to health and educational inequities. This is designed to simultaneously improve community wellbeing and advance research, teaching, and learning (K-16+). After a brief overview of UACS, presenters from two higher eds working with different communities (urban, suburban and rural) will share examples of community-engaged scholarship and teaching. There will be time for questions and discussion.
