Partnerships

Partnership - Lori

how different than collaboration, content to content, department to department, university to public school, supervisor to individuals (intern, mentor, principal), b.s. ability (Tara’s term), car salesman approach, university to community colleges, university to school community, take an incredible amount of time, being visible/PR/consultant counselor/drama control – auto mechanic, marriage counselor, social worker, financial advisor – partnerships occur within collaboration, partnerships are more formalized with clear cut expectations of each role, ex: KCK had trouble getting started because no formal plan, was loose and planned on the fly, while El Dorado created a framework of responsibilities for partnership, buy-in is tremendous factor for partnership – in Olathe strong partnership because of buy in, district helped to build partnership, partnership has an agreement of whose job it is for specific tasks – KCK not have a permanent classroom for our classes although they have said we would see: same as collaboration and PDS materials Partnerships are cogs that are in the wheels of collaboration.
