The Challenge

Professionals Ready for Educational Partnerships or PREP, was developed to help educators understand and practice various forms of collaboration. Using an ecological perspective, participants learn how to forge partnerships in the classroom, school, home, and community.

The Solution

The 10 one hour video segments use a documentary format incorporating interviews with nationally recognized experts and footage of practicing educators engaged in various forms of educational partnerships. Many of the interviews with national experts were conducted at the University of Utah. Field production was conducted with a four-person crew in Salt Lake City, Utah; Seattle, Washington; Boston, Massachusetts; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Rockford, Illinois.

The Principal Investigator behind Prep was Dr. Marshall Welch, Associate Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Utah. He wrote the federal grant, video content and website content, and co-authored the accompanying textbook.
