that were successfully achieved and assumptions and expectations
that were met:

Discussion and Conclusions
The discussion and conclusions presented here are based on the
analysis of the findings of collected data that attempted to answer
the study’s research questions: What are effective ways of approaching
school=university partnerships within a private setting? What are the
assumptions of members of both institutions regarding the partnership?
What are the criteria and outcomes of a successful partnership?
