Partnerships: Building a Model University Program for Service to Kansas Public School Districts.
Skillett, Jack
Partnerships is an Emporia State University program designed to strengthen university relationships with public schools in Kansas. It contains four strategies for offering services needed by public school practitioners: (1) providing leadership, research, and staff development assistance to formal school district consortia in the university's region; (2) sponsoring critical issues updating workshops on new/revised concepts/practices for individual Kansas educators; (3) sponsoring conferences on topics of special interest to both university personnel and state professional associations; and (4) conducting training institutes to prepare school district leaders in curriculum, effective schools, and reading coordination. The program attempts to become a dynamic agent in the total educational community, exercise sensitivity to varying perspectives on educational theory/practice, advocate workable procedures and program models, use effective leadership techniques, and identify and build a network to serve its constituency. Given an appropriate amount of funding and adequate staffing, the Partnerships program can be replicated by any college or university. (LFL)
