Information
Organization's Own Description:
The Brigham Young University-Public School Partnership (BYU-PSP) is a joint venture between the McKay School of Education and the School Districts of Alpine, Jordan, Nebo, Provo and Wasatch. This 24-year-old partnership is a setting of the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER). The foundational principle of the NNER and the Partnership states that the improvement of public education requires teacher training institutions and public schools to work collaboratively to affect positive change in teacher education and K-12 student learning.
The participating districts educate about one third of Utah’s school children (approximately 180,000) and employ over 7,000 teachers. Brigham Young University annually graduates approximately 900 teachers and 40 administrative candidates.
The facilitating arm for the initiatives of the BYU-PSP is the Center for the Improvement of Teacher Education and Schooling (CITES). The CITES office is located on the BYU campus, within the McKay School of Education.
The Governing Board for the Partnership includes the superintendents of the five participating school districts, the dean of the McKay School of Education, and the executive director of CITES. This board collaboratively identifies needs that can be most effectively addressed by the combined efforts of the university and the school districts. Partnership initiatives fall under four categories: professional development, partnership programs, grants and funding, and research and publications.
