Six Keys to Partnership Education
Education is a powerful tool to create more satisfying, more meaningful, less tense, less hurtful, and just plain healthier and more enjoyable ways of living. Six keys to partnership education are: Tools, Values, Structure, Science, Integration, and Inspiration. They can be useful as an introduction to partnership education and as a guideline for developing curriculum.
Helping Students Realize Their Potential
Partnership Education helps students realize their individual potentials by recognizing that excellence in learning is connected to long-range personal development. Students come to school with multiple and complex issues that cannot be resolved by school alone. Partnership schools/programs work with the community to support students and families.
Being a Partnership Educational Leader
In many classrooms, the teacher gives directions and the student follows. In a partnership classroom, the teacher shares power, at least in some matters, with the students, and teaches them partnership competences, such as making responsible, collaborative decisions.
