Striving for Mutual Collaboration

The Case of Mountain University and the Westside

Duquesne University, millerp{at}duq.edu

The ability to navigate complex challenges that arise when universities, schools, and communities collaborate with each other is an increasingly important characteristic for effective educational leaders to possess. This case focuses on the planning process that occurred when Mountain University and its neighboring schools and communities attempted to work together for reciprocal benefit. With its use of the work of Paulo Freire, this case can be used to develop discussion on the role of educational leaders in the development of university-school-community partnerships that are mutually dependent on the input of all participants.

Key Words: university-community partnerships • Freire • leadership theory
