The study is set itself in the context of teacher education reform and aims to address key issues in the practice teaching of local normal universities, including weak coordination mechanisms, scattered resources, and limited training effectiveness. Drawing on collaborative governance theory and the exploration practices of Yuxi Normal University, this study constructs a “U-G-S” trinity practice teaching model that integrates universities, government agencies, and primary and secondary schools. By clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the three parties, optimizing resource allocation, and improving the operational mechanism, the model establishes a teacher training system characterized by multi-participant collaboration and complementary advantages. The study argues that this model aligns with the strategic direction of high-quality teacher education in the new era and holds significant value for the innovation of practice teaching in local normal universities.
