Abstract
This article is a description of a school-eommunity-university partnership that began in 1993 in the provost’s office as an outreach project to an underserved, largely African American community in north Lexington. Over time, with grant support, the partners created a community learning center called the Winburn Community Academy at the middle school. The community school project moved to the College of Education in 1996, where it provided a ready-made platform for the establishment of a professional development school (PDS). Given the crisis of our public schools in teaching all children to high levels, this dual focus on community and school reform provides the organizational structure for systemic intervention, but it requires that education colleges move into a totally new paradigm-the school without walls.
