Leaders from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas College of Education and their school/district partners discuss how careful cultivation of relationships leads to strong support for students, teachers, and preparation programs.

Dean Kim Metcalf describes the value of extending these relationships to the policy community by becoming an informative resource to state lawmakers as well as locally.
