Abstract
University-community partnerships (UCPs) are increasingly utilized to address issues in education. In this paper, we present reflections on best practices for child- and family-focused UCPs. These reflections emerged before, during and after a convening that brought together representatives from five UCPs in the United States that emphasized early-childhood development and received funding from the same philanthropic source. The convening elicited perspectives on best practices for UCPs, and identified community- and university-related contextual factors that affected implementation of these best practices. The findings from this study will contribute to the enhancement of future UCPs in education.
