  abstract: This dissertation's conceptual framework is grounded in the context of eight models of collaboration developed from the literature: pre-operational; structural; holistic; biological; affective stage; cooperative extension; systems; and operational. The author's typology found collaboration practiced in nine distinct ways. The research design has three phases: description (organizational history and policy analysis of a school/university collaboration); prescription (management plan and specification model); and a test of two models for suitability (Levine, 1980 and Joyce, 1985).

Most students were Black or Hispanic, retained at least once, had low SES status, and IQ means in the 70s. Dr. James F.

The author's specification model has four attribut…
