Using Partnerships to Promote Health and Physical Education
Lisa Hicks, Heidi Hancher-Rauch, & Katelin Casselman

Abstract: School and higher education partnerships are an excellent opportunity for all involved to receive mutually beneficial outcomes. This article describes the benefits of a P-12–university partnership, as well as specific examples of projects and assignments that can serve as advocacy resources, creative programming, program assessment, or to meet other unique needs. Such partnerships can create field experience opportunities, teach students to develop joint educational lessons, and build community and university trust. The benefits to both the university and P-12 programs are endless, and this article provides suggestions for creating a similar partnership.
