This case study examines how differing views on the teacher’s role in school reform affected the work of a school–university partnership. The school district and the university had a history of partnerships and shared common general goals.

We provide background information about each partner, describe the two views, and examine how the differing perspectives influenced the goals and activities of the partnership. This study highlights the complex issues embedded in school–university collaboration.
