This study utilized qualitative means to gain a better understanding of the experiences of faculty members from a school of education, college of arts and sciences, and K-12 urban educators as they worked across academic disciplines to create and implement a collaborative secondary urban teacher fellowship program. This study is meant to inform the larger field of urban education on pathways to successful collaboration between universities and K-12 urban schools, as well as between education and content area faculties at the university level engaged in teacher preparation reform efforts.
