This book demonstrates school-based approaches to primary science teacher education. The models used involve partnerships between universities and primary schools to engage pre-service primary teachers in classroom teaching and learning that effectively connects theory with practice separate to the formal practicum arrangements. The book is a culmination of the research and collaboration of researchers from five Australian universities involved in the Science Teacher Education Partnerships with Schools (STEPS) project , funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.
While the STEPS project focused on partnerships in primary science teacher education, a key strength of the partnership model (the STEPS Interpretive Framework) developed and explored in this book is its applicability for cross-case, national, international, and inter-state analyses of partnership practices. This is shown through a number of case studies where the STEPS Interpretive Framework is applied and evaluated in the context of other school- or learning-related partnerships. These broad-ranging analyses illustrate the relevance of the model to a range of settings, both within and outside of education.
Proposes a partnership model that provides a language to describe, negotiate, maintain and evaluate partnerships in learning-related contexts Provides in-depth examples of partnership theory in practice with evidence-based principles Explores the value of different types of partnerships for differing needs and purposes Provides descriptive interpretations of different stages and types of partnership to guide practice

Linda Hobbs is an Associate Professor in Science Education at Deakin University. She teaches primary science education in the Bachelor of Education Course, and coordinates a fourth year science education unit that is solely based in schools. She also teaches science communication to science and engineering students. Her research interests include partnerships in primary teacher education, out-of-field teaching in secondary schools, and STEM education. She was the leader the Science Teacher Education Partnerships with Schools (STEPS) Project (2013-2014, funded by the Office for Learning and Teaching).
Coral Campbell is an Associate Professor at the School of Education, Deakin University, Australia. Coral's research interests are in early childhood and primary science, design technology, and environmental education, and particularly focuses on practitioner learning and children's understandings. She is on review panels for several international journals and is currently involved in a number of large federally funded projects. Coral has contributed to, and co-edited, the first Australian text for pre-service early childhood educators, Science in Early Childhood (Cambridge University Press).
Mellita Jones is a lecturer at Australian Catholic University's Ballarat campus where she teaches Science Teacher Education and is the Deputy Head of School for the Ballarat campus. Her research is concerned with effective teacher education, where her focus has been on school-university partnerships, reflective practice and authentic uses of technology for personalising learning. Her recent work has involved school-based approaches to science teacher education and practicum partnerships for rural and regional teacher education courses. She also has an interest in working with teachers in the Pacific region and has had significant involvement in the Solomon Islands.
