Review:

""These case studies are helpful for anyone who has ever vaguely thought about involving higher education institutions with K-12 schools."

""A must read for state policymakers. (The authors) offer us valuable lessons and insights from real people who have struggled to bridge this gap."

""We don't often hear of higher education and K-12 working in partnership and speaking out. That is so important."
