the presence of parents and the extent to which they are integrated into the
partnership as a stakeholder. Lastly, the research team carefully observed the
behaviors of all members of the partnership to see how it impacted parental efficacy
with regards to engagement in the partnership. The research team analyzed the field
notes in comparison to the interviews for consistencies and inconsistencies in
responses to the research questions.
Analyzing Documents and Artifacts
According to Miller (cited in Patton, 2001, p. 91), “demystifying institutional
texts is one way of demystifying institutional authority.” The research team
identified parallels between attitudes, actions and behaviors noted in observations
and interviews and compared them to the formal documentation of these events. The
researchers noted evidence in the artifacts of the cultures and actions of each
organization during the partnership’s second year of operation. The team also
identified the content of the partnership’s agenda and meeting minutes, specifically
as it applied to demonstrating evidence of co-construction and parental engagement
efforts. The objective was to note the degree to which the partnership had developed
a new cultural model for parental engagement, enhanced parental efficacy and
sustained the co-constructive process in its second year of operation. Artifacts were
also analyzed for consistencies and inconsistencies among values, basic assumptions
within the partnership.

| 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. |
