Welcome to the PK/20 Collaborative and home of the Benedum Collaborative!
Have you ever thought about how much learning could occur when public schools and universities worked side by side to improve student and prospective teacher learning? The PK/20 Collaborative, home of the Nationally Recognized Benedum Collaborative, is a center for partnership development designed to do this important work!
The PK/20 Collaborative emerged as we recognized the amazing things that we could accomplish if we drew on the successful lessons learned from our first partnership, the Benedum Collaborative. We believe that when we see partnerships created to improve teacher education, professional development, and the public schools, the result will be increased student achievement, better prepared teachers, as well as exceptional schools and Colleges of Education!
I encourage you to browse our web pages, meet our outstanding faculty and staff, as well as stop by our office to discuss partnership ideas that you believe could strengthen public schools and the College of Education. As you learn more about the partnerships that WVU has formed, you will recognize the commitment we have made to improve teaching and learning through partnering with West Virginia’s outstanding schools.
If you have questions about our existing partnerships or would like to suggest new ones, please visit with us.
