Partners are persistent and committed for the long term, and are willing to take on new roles. Successful partnerships have shared goals and shared leadership. Partners are co-creators of a vision that reflects needs of the future and are collaborators in preparing for those needs. Successful partnerships recognize their own context but operate within a larger vision of schooling, learning, and teaching for the future. Partners are encouraged to take risks, to test innovations, and to grow.
Successful partnerships involve risk taking, problem solving and trouble shooting.
Partners take time for reflection, collaboration, communication and building positive relationships and clear understanding of goals. Successful partnerships require time to evolve and commitment to continue. Kathy Rockwood, email or by telephone, 860.832.2144.
