Partnerships Now! PDF Print E-mail

      There has never been a better time for school-business partnerships.  Economic conditions, on a world-wide basis, are terrible.  Job loss, home foreclosures and the failure of banks and businesses have effected most of us.  But education and business must survive and one of the best ways for this to happen is through PARTNERSHIP.

     School-business partnerships are mutually beneficial in this time of crisis. I can hear the reaction now, "But these cost money!"  Wrong.  In fact one of the 12 commandments for forming successful, sustainable partnerships is that a school-business partnership should never be structured around financial matters.

     "The real value of a school-business partnership lies in the people-to-people relationships it engenders, not in the amount of money that changes hands." - An excerpt from the book Facing the Future Together.

Facing the Future Together

If we don't face the future together as partners, what will the world look ike in 10 years?

  • Fewer graduates will be prepared for high-skill demans of the 21st Century workplace
  • The American worker will be displaced by skilled employees from other countries
  • Uneducated, unskilled workers will be condemned to lives of poverty.
  • Finding and retaining good teachers will become increasingly difficult
  • America will lose it's competitive edge in the global marketplace

This prediction is dismal but true.  It's time to intervene as partners.  We're all affected by the preparedness of students who exit our school. 

"Facing the Future Together provides an easy-to-follow roadmap to success through partnership.  Every educator, parent, chamber of commerce, business and industry leader should have a copy of this book."

Successful partnershps will make the difference. 

Let this book show you how....
