Abstract	This article discusses how a university-school district partnership improves the quality of teacher candidates and the knowledge and skills of high school graduates. Several years ago, the author was having lunch with Lynne Clark, the dean of professional studies at Western Connecticut State University, when Clark complained that too many recent high school graduates from the author's district did poorly on her university's placement tests and were required to take remedial reading and mathematics classes in their freshman year. Clark explained that the remedial courses, while charging the same tuition and fees as other university course work, did not count toward the graduation requirements. They both came to the conclusion that they were describing the same problem from different perspectives. To address it, they moved past their circular firing-squad approach and instead employed a two-part strategy that has produced encouraging results. There are two areas of positive outcomes from this partnership. First, it strengthens the quality of teacher candidates the university produces. Second, the partnership has improved the knowledge and skills that seniors who graduate from Bethel High School have. (ERIC).
