Forming Community Partnerships to Access Educational Resources
Leadership, Parent and Community Impact | Pre-K-12
It’s no secret that schools have limited resources to prepare students for the real world. Students benefit tremendously when educators collaborate with the community to provide authentic learning experiences and resources so students can get a taste of how they’ll use what they’re learning outside the classroom walls. The challenge lies in how to form these partnerships.
In this course for school leaders, you will explore methods for seeking out and partnering with community members to gain a variety of resources for your school. You’ll learn from other school leaders who have successfully built a network of contacts and resources, and develop strategies to help you do the same in your community. In addition, you’ll learn how to create a well-balanced presentation of your schools’ current needs to energize community members to get involved.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a practical plan to drive more educational opportunities for your students through the power of community partnerships.
