The primary goal of the session is to demystify how to cultivate meaningful partnerships with the community. Participants will be provide with specific examples of existing partnerships at the district and school level.

 

Sample partnerships include:
Cobb Schools, Cobb Fire & UL - partnership to engage students in learning about fire dynamics while providing college and career readiness.
Coleman Middle School & Columbia Engineering - partnership where students spend a day with their engineers solving a local engineering problem.
Fly Girls - Virtual drone club for young women partnered with female drone pilots who use their drones in a variety of careers.
Coleman Middle School & The High Museum - teacher training for the “A” in STEAM and purposeful, targeted and specifically planned field trips.

 

We will discuss how our partnerships have evolved to adapt to current instructional practices, like remote teaching.  We will be very transparent with the struggles and successes along the way."
