the role as the critical bridge person, it also demonstrated that the partnership was
starting to reintegrate the use of the critical bridge person as it moves forward into its
third year. Dr. Key has reintegrated herself into the work of the partnership and is
being seen as “the UEAT liaison.”
Additionally, the Year One partnership also identified the Bradley
Foundation as being instrumental in bridging cross-organizational trust; to this
extent, the Year Two research team asserts that the Bradley Foundation’s role as a
critical bridge person remained the same. The data demonstrates that Dr. Singh and
Mr. Al continue to work with the partnership in providing resources and facilitating
discussions regarding the partnership and its role in improving the academic
achievement of students at Prep High School.
Summary of Findings for Research Question 1b
Part “B” of Question One asked about the strategies used to overcome
barriers to co-constructing and sustaining an urban community-school-university
partnership beyond its first year of operation. Through an investigation and analysis
of the findings, the research team discovered that the same strategies identified by
the Year One Study continue to persist. Although the same strategies exist, they
appear to have regressed in their utilization during Year Two. The data reveal the
most commonly absent strategies were systems of representation and the use of a
critical bridge person.

| 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. |
