Every community, regardless of size or location, has businesses, organizations, and institutions with global connections that can support a school’s mission. A globally focused school intentionally engages, cultivates, and nurtures partnerships with these community stakeholders to build its capacity to deliver high quality global learning opportunities for youth. In this workshop, participants will learn about the important role of community partners in the Global School Design Model and new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA); how to identify and initiate work with community partners that align with the school’s goals; and strategies for cultivating and nurturing mutually beneficial partnerships.

posed the question: what is the appropriate role for
the state in the support of and possible intervention
in unaccredited school districts, if the goal is achieving
dramatic student achievement gains? This report
provides recommendations to answer that question
and represents a comprehensive vision for an urban
school system that fosters the conditions schools,
educators, parents, and students need for success.
While we focus here on the Kansas City Public Schools
(KCPS), these recommendations could also guide state
intervention in other unaccredited districts.

Editor's Notes
Other communities have undertaken this work with great success. Community engagement is often the recommended course of action to seek solutions to critical education issues. What kind of community do we have? What kind of community do we want to live and work in? What kind of schools do we have? What kind of schools do we want? What will it take to have the community and the schools that we want? What will it take to have that for our families ? What are will willing to do to get that? What is my role in this effort? What is the role of local businesses? The community as a whole? Of elected officials? Of educators? How can we work together to accomplish our goals?

Facing dramatic growth as a result of BRAC. Local companies can’t fill many entry level jobs. The readiness of our future workforce is a concern. There is a growing demand in our community for graduates with higher level math and science knowledge and problem solving skills. Employers predict an increase in career opportunities in bio-tech, engineering, and technical areas. Meanwhile…..challenges continue to grow: Increase in non-English speaking residents Increase in number of students qualifying for free and reduced meals Increase in demand for social services rises as economic needs increase- housing, medical care, unemployment benefits Why should we expect the schools to do it alone?
We know that great schools are possible when a community is unified in support of high education standards. What happens if we do nothing?
