College partnerships
The School and Community Collaboration Center coordinates College of Education partnerships, including:
- The Rural Education Center was established in 1987. The College of Education at Washington State University and a group of small school districts decided to make an effort to work together. The original concept was then developed by Brian Talbott, who at the time was Superintendent of ESD 101, and Dr. Ray Smith, with advice and encouragement from WASA's Small Schools Committee.
- The High School Equivalency Program (HEP) offers WSU students opportunities to tutor, teach and mentor students from migrant or seasonal worker backgrounds who wish to earn high school equivalency certificates.
- Through the Coeur d'Alene Partnership Program, Washington State University and Idaho's Coeur d’Alene Tribe work cooperatively to establish programs that meet the educational needs of tribal members of all ages.
- Partnership with the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers links the College of Education with the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers at Phillips Academy, which prepares high-achieving minority college students for graduate studies. The college joined the consortium partnership in 2002 to facilitate recruitment of minority graduate students. For more information contact Ruby Latham, Program Coordinator, rlatham@wsu.edu.
- University Partners for Academic Leadership (UPAL) offers WSU students and faculty an opportunity to collaborate with nine universities in Thailand to modernize and privatize those university systems.
- The Assessment and Evaluation Center provides WSU graduate students with hands-on experience in partnerships with school districts and other agencies to provide assessment services.
- The WSU College of Education—Nishinomiya Education Board Partnership was established in 1987 with the Japanese city of Nishinomiya. The purposes of the partnership are to, first, sponsor three American public school teachers annually to teach English in Nishinomiya; second, to sponsor teachers from Nishinomiya for summer study at Washington State University; and third, to sponsor exchanges of delegations of faculty between the college and the school district for an annual seminar on contemporary issues in education. For more information about this partnership, contact Dennis Warner, dawarner@wsu.edu.

Partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities links the College of Education’s student recruitment office with Mississippi Valley State University and Langston University to enhance minority representation among graduate students at the college.
