Sustaining P-16 Innovation


The Teacher Preparation Initiative (TPI) will maximize teacher effectiveness and increase student achievement by transforming and strengthening teacher education through collaborative partnerships between SCSU and P-12 school districts

Our vision really speaks to the heart of the work we have been doing in TPI over the past several years.  Much of our initial focus was fostering strong collaboration and partnership among teacher education faculty across campus and between SCSU and our P-12 partners.  As we began to think about sustainability, institutionalization and the expansion of these P-16 partnerships, our district superintendents spearheaded conversations to develop a Center for Partnership at SCSU. 

The Bush Foundation was excited about the direction of our visioning for this center and blogged about it:  “St. Cloud State and P-12 partners spark innovative Center for Partnership talks”.
