School-university partnerships are increasingly recognized worldwide as critical to enhancing teacher learning, promoting educational equity, and improving student outcomes. Across Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond, these partnerships serve as vital frameworks for creating professional learning communities, integrating research-based practices, and offering practical experiences for preservice and inservice teachers (OECD, 2019; European Commission, 2015; AITSL, 2017). International organizations like UNESCO and the World Bank advocate for these collaborations, particularly in underserved areas (UNESCO, 2020). This symposium will explore the principles and complexities underlying effective school-university partnerships, focusing on their role in promoting equitable learning environments. It will gather diverse perspectives—from university leaders and teacher educators to school leaders and practicing teachers—to examine how these collaborations support educator learning and access to equitable education. In response to a recent Partnership Research Agenda, the symposium will showcase examples of partnerships in action. The symposium features papers that highlight how specific partnerships operationalize concepts like effective leadership, collaborative practices, and professional development, illustrating their impact on teacher education and growth. By grounding these ideas in tangible examples, we provide insights into how partnerships function, their challenges, and their potential to transform educator learning and promote equity. Eight distinguished institutions from the United States and Europe will present their unique approaches to fostering partnerships that advance teacher education, equity, and access. Together we will discuss innovative teacher preparation practices, professional development models, and inclusive practices. By weaving together diverse approaches and insights from participating institutions, this symposium aims to inspire future research and collaborative partnerships to promote equitable educational practices worldwide.
