A New Zealand collaborative university–school partnership: applying the STEPS Framework

This chapter considers how the Interpretive Framework was applied to Waika-to University’s Community University School Partnership (CUSP) program, retrospectively. As a well-documented partnership program, the Interpretive Framework was applied to aspects of the project to see how these aligned. As well as highlighting the synergies between the Interpretive Framework and the CUSP, there were a number of differences which arose and these are dis-cussed as considerations of adding further complexity to the interpretive framework.
