Creating and Leveraging a Community “Partnership Continuum”

Parent and educator partnerships are key to successful results for students. Building trust, sharing information, and valuing the participation of all partners leads to increased engagement and results for students.  Defining proactive activities that encourage meaningful interactions coupled with alternative dispute resolution processes is the basis for establishing a Partnership Continuum that supports a sense of community.  The Continuum should be developed, implemented with fidelity, measured, and maintained by design not chance.  This presentation will feature strategies and tools for creating a “Partnership Continuum” and developing data collection systems to measure effort and effect that leads to achieving desired results.
