Juarez-Lincoln High School and College of Education and P-16 Integration Turnaround Partnership
The annual University of Texas System K-12 School Turnaround Partnership funded a three-year initiative of $100,000 per year from 2017 to 2020. Led Dr. Roberto Zamora, Assistant Professor in the Department of Organization and School Leadership, the College of Education and P-16 Integration (CEP) embraced the challenge of enhancing and developing the school’s “turnaround capacity” to improve student achievement at Juarez-Lincoln High School. Faculty from CEP in partnership with Juarez-Lincoln High School leadership began with a focused effort of leading, managing and evaluating the change process using the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) with consultative services by lead developer Dr. Gene E. Hall, Research Professor at the University of Colorado-Denver and Professor Emeritus at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He has had a career-long involvement with the development of programs and national accreditation of teacher education.
In year two and three, led by Dr. Criselda Garcia, Associate Dean and Associate Professor, a new linkage between the partners developed. The Teacher Preparation Program offered coordinated clinical experiences at Juarez-Lincoln High School. The mutually-beneficial outcome resulted in having teacher candidates working closely with high school students and teachers to learn more about teaching and learning, while supplementing instructional support of English learners and students with special needs in classrooms.
