“…The Statewide Clinical Practice and Partnership Conceptual Framework (IHE Institutions of Higher Education Network, 2016) frames the types of relationships EPPs have with schools and districts. The framework represents the spectrum of relationships with schools ranging from placements to partnerships (Wasliewski et al, 2021;Connelly et al, 2021). On one end of the spectrum, teacher candidates can be placed in schools and EPP faculty focus their energy on the supervision of the teacher candidate.…”

Responses were collected across all institutions statewide in order to share knowledge and improve collective practice.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research study was to examine school leaders’ critical perspectives about the nature of their partnerships with K-12 schools and two Educator Preparation Programs (EPP).Design/methodology/approachData were collected through interviews with K-12 school leaders to obtain partners’ critical perspectives about school–EPP partnerships. The interviews were coded thematically and oriented around the central concept of working to represent the interplay of the participants and their collaborators’ perceptions of the nature and dimensions of school–EPP partnerships.FindingsThe analysis resulted in the construction of a mosaic of school leaders’ collective lived experiences using a statewide conceptual framework as a guide. Four themes emerged from our interviews with school partners: (a) the need for dynamic, responsive and synergistic partnerships; (b) the need to monitor and maintain the underlying structure and integrity of the partnership; (c) the culture of interns as colleagues or as visitors; and (d) the need to innovate.Originality/valueFour themes emerged from our interviews with school partners: (1) the need for dynamic, responsive and synergistic partnerships; (2) the need to monitor and maintain the underlying structure and integrity of partnerships; (3) the culture of interns as colleagues or interns as visitors; and (4) the need to innovate.
