The Five College Public School Partnership promotes collaboration
of K12 and college faculty in order to serve the needs of public
school districts in Western Massachusetts. Through a variety of
programs, the Partnership promotes discussion about teaching and
scholarship and offers discipline-based professional development
for K12 teachers.
Current programs of the Partnership include: Teachers as Scholars,
a series of professional development seminars taught by Five College
faculty; the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Teacher
Education Collaborative (STEMTEC), a collaborative among K12 schools,
community colleges, and the five colleges to promote inquiry-based
pedagogy at all levels of instruction and to encourage undergraduates
to pursue teaching careers; Understanding the Native American Experience
in New England, a twelve year endeavor to provide teachers with
the tools and knowledge to teach about Native American culture,
history, and communities; and Globalizing Knowledge: Bridging Southeast
Asia and Asia-America in the K12 Classroom.
Other sources of funding for the Partnership include the National
Science Foundation, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation,
