Networking for the Turnaround of a School District: The Boston University/Chelsea Partnership
No full textFor decades, education researchers have understood that school/university partnerships can be beneficial for
education reform. K-12 institutions derive benefits from working with professors and university students, and
higher education institutions use local schools as sites for teacher training and school improvement research.
Partnerships between universities and entire school districts for the explicit purpose of school district
turnaround are extremely rare, however. This is one reason why the longstanding partnership between Boston
University and the Chelsea Public School District is truly one of a kind. In 1989 Boston University
committed itself to the day to day management of Chelsea’s schools, which were beleaguered with financial,
managerial, and social problems. After twenty years and in large part thanks to that Partnership, the Chelsea
Public Schools, once the lowest performing in Massachusetts, have become some of the state’s highest
performing urban schools.
In this collection, scholars from Boston University, the Chelsea Public schools, and abroad examine the history the Boston University/Chelsea Public
Schools Partnership and the important changes that are now a part of its legacy. Contributors examine both some of the promises fulfilled and some of
the pitfalls encountered along the way, and they do so with an eye to how the Boston University/Chelsea experience can inform other school districts
and universities interested in forging partnerships. How does a university take fiscal and managerial responsibility for a struggling school district and
what are the challenges inherent to such a unique relationship? What specific resources can a university bring to a struggling school district and how
does a school district in turn contribute to the betterment of the university? Also, how does a longstanding partnership survive and thrive in the midst
of a dynamic federal and state education reform climate
The Boston University-Chelsea Partnership: A Winning Educational and Managerial Strategy

Get PDFA sense of urgency shapes our national discourse on state education.
Students strive to meet new academic standards while their teachers work to
improve the quality and equity of education opportunities. Yet achievement gaps
persist, particularly in urban and rural schools . The demand for effective
leadership is clear. We need school leaders who visualise successful student
learning, understand the work necessary to achieve it, and have the skills to
engage with others to make it happen. How can we prepare more individuals to
meet these challenges? This paper explores what three universities – two in Italy
and one in Malta – are doing to establish a programme that offers an innovative
pathway to school leadership. It presents the inception of this partnership, the
rationale behind the discourse that has evolved over the years, and the
establishment of links between the universities and other bodies within the
Mediterranean and Commonwealth contexts with the aim of preparing the next
generation of school leaders needed within the Euro-Mediterranean region. The
concluding part presents a number of opportunities that lie ahead and highlights
the various challenges that await us as we embark on this journey.peer-reviewe
