Book Description
This book provides over 300 summaries of joint-venture programs between secondary and postsecondary schools. The overall purpose of the partnership programs is to improve the chances for at-risk students to graduate from high school and have a successful college experience. The main portion of the book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a major grouping of partnerships: (1) "Programs and Services for Students"; (2) "Programs and Services for Educators"; (3) "Coordination, Development, and Assessment of Curriculum and Instruction"; and (4) "Programs To Mobilize, Direct, and Promote Sharing of Educational Resources." Each part begins with a brief introduction, followed by an array of abstracts that describe these partnership activities. Following these four parts is a comprehensive national directory to the programs in the national computer database. For each partnership program, the directory lists the following: name of the higher education institution; name of the partnership; name, address, and telephone number of the higher education contact person; and a five-digit program reference number. Appendices include a blank survey form for readers interested in submitting new entries to the database or updating existing information, and information for accessing the national partnership computer database at Syracuse University. Contains an index. (GLR)

P-20 Partnerships

Pages : 165
Book Description
Tracing the historical development of partnerships between schools, universities, and communities, P-20 Partnerships: A Critical Examination of the Past and Future provides educators and policymakers with a framework for understanding how partnerships originated and their potential for the future. This book connects Dewey's lab schools, Goodlad's ideas about simultaneous renewal, and Professional Development Schools with today's next-generation P-20 partnerships and Cradle-to-Career networks. After examining the history and development of P-20 partnerships, we are able to categorize partnerships into three different types, depending on the purpose of their outcomes: partnerships to improve P-12 schools, partnerships to improve access to post-secondary opportunities, and Research-Practice Partnerships. Rather than categorizing partnerships by their activities and curricula, this book proposes that their goals for their students are what should define these school systems.

Book Description
THIS IS A UNIQUE BOOK. IF YOU CARE ABOUT SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLING AND THE WAY IN WHICH PARTNERSHIPS MAY HELP TO STRENGTHEN AND IMPROVE THEM AND THE INSTITUTIONS THAT PARTNER WITH THEM, YOU SHOULD READ IT! School partnerships have a long history in the United States. The inception of public schooling was a type of partnership with the community. The concept of local school boards and local control was integral to the establishment of schools and the idea that public education was a public good has deep roots in the country. Partnerships denote relationships which are mutually beneficial to the parties involved and which result in joint benefits for those who create and engage in them. The partnerships presented in this book provide ample evidence of the value and benefits of these arrangements. The book contains stories and research about school partnerships from a variety of groups and perspectives, which are focused upon multiple issues within educational institutions and communities within the United States. The final chapter, presents an analysis across all the partnerships to identify the elements that fostered and hindered their success and the primary lessons learned. This analysis should provide meaningful information for those engaged in developing and operating similar partnerships or those involved in conducting research on or about them. Although the cases presented in this book occur within the United States, the findings may also have relevance for similar initiatives in other countries. Praise for Creating School Partnerships that Work: A Guide for Practice and Research: Kudos to Dana Griggs and Frances Kochan for compiling the rich accountings of eight different school partnerships all in one place. Readers will learn a great deal from both the individual accountings of a broad array of partnerships as well as the collective analysis of the partnerships and lessons learned across them. Creating School Partnerships that Work:A Guide for Research and Practice is a must-read book for anyone who ever has been, is, or desires to be involved in any type of school partnership. Nancy Fichtman Dana, Professor, School of Teaching and Learning University of Florida, Gainesville Creating School Partnerships that Work: A Guide for Research and Practice is a must read for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and community members seeking to identify elements of successful school partnerships that foster students' academic and personal successes. This edited volume shares stakeholders' perspectives on multi-dimensional school partnerships, which have successfully led to sustained collaborations across diverse purposes that are mutually beneficial for all groups. The usefulness of the content analysis presented in the final chapter, which identifies elements both fostering and hindering partnerships with recommendations, cannot be overstated.
