2. Banking—A term derived from Paolo Freire’s seminal work, Pedagogy of the
Oppressed (1970) in which the oppressors ‘bank’ or ‘deposit’ knowledge into the
oppressed with no regard for the knowledge already possessed by the oppressed and
the sociocultural context that informs that knowledge. This instrument of oppression
is oftentimes manifested within power relationships.
3. Collaboration—An interactive process among individuals and organizations that
have come together of mutual accord to work towards a mutually agreed upon and
mutually beneficial goal. Each individual and organization involved in the
collaborative effort possesses diverse expertise and resources which they use to
generate solutions to complex problems (Gronski & Pigg in Miller & Haffner, 2008).
4. Co-construction—A process in which two or more parties engage in an interactive
and equitable relationship to create shared understandings and agreed upon
outcomes.
5. Community—Traditionally defined as a group of people interacting and living in a
common geographic location. Community is also defined as the shared
characteristics, norms, behaviors, identity and cohesiveness of a group sharing
common spaces of interaction. The ‘community’ in this case study, as representative
of the aforementioned definition, has a variety of assets as well as liabilities.
However, many of the assets have been untapped. This term may also refer to
community based organizations, or parents and students in the community, or to
other members of the community.

| Abstract | Community-school-university partnerships represent a new model of urban education reform that incorporates the overlapping spheres of influence in the transformation process. Co-constructed relationships between communities, schools and universities have the potential reshape organizational hierarchy and enable all partners to develop a new cultural model capable of transforming K-12 urban schools. This study the second and third year of one co-constructed community-school-university partnership that attempted to transform the cultural model of one urban high school.; The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the extent to which a community-school-university partnership is able to sustain elements of co-construction and other ongoing processes that are beneficial to the partnership. Also, the study will identify the persistent barriers to co-constructions and effective strategies to overcome those barriers within a community-school-university partnership. This study expands on the research conducted during the first year of the partnership’s operation and will offer insight as to the sustainability of the co-constructed processes between the community-school-university partnership. This study will also identify the methods in which the community-school-university partnership can develop a new cultural model for parental engagement in the interest of school transformation. |
