AB: How do we engage research universities in partnerships with K-12 schools and community organizations in ways that matter to both higher education and schools and communities? And how do we do this in ways that scale? In particular, how do we involve the academic core of the campus---faculty, organized research units, libraries, research museums---in these critical educational partnerships. In this talk, the author will lay out a framework for thinking about higher education-school partnerships and argue for a strategy that engages the academic core of the campus in this work. As part of this, he will talk briefly about the important role of both educational technology and "collaborative infrastructure" in these partnerships, using examples from the University of California Berkeley's Interactive University and its partnerships with K-12 programs and community groups in the Bay area.
