mlssea homework, explain
misunderstood classwork, help
the student appreciate the
importance of education, offer a
field trip to a company, or

resources available through the
school system.

Yes, I am interested in being
a mentor at:
A mentor is a special type of
school volunteer, committed to
making a difference in a youth's
life by assisting the student in
experiencing school success.
Sometimes students consider
dropping out of school because
they get discouraged, think no
one cares, and just need a friend.
The mentor can become that
needed friend, role model, lis-
tener, and personal cheerleader.

INTRODUCTION
r~
Business-education partnerships are providingexciting opportunities
for schools and businesses throughout Florida to work together to
enhance and improve the quality of education and meet the needs of
students, educators, and the community.
Partnerships aren't new, but they are increasing in number and scope.
There are numerous program models that have been identified which
can be modified to help you match your community's resources to
meet your specific needs.
The information included in this handbook is a compilation of
partnership activities from throughout Florida that reflect the
diversity of partnership programs. One of the greatest advantages of
the partnership movement is that local school districts develop the
guidelines, and the partners develop activities which combine their
resources to achieve mutually beneficial objectives.
Schools need the support of the community to provide quality
education. Businesses and the community need a strong public
education system to assure economic stability and to maintain a high
quality of life for citizens of all ages.
Exciting things are happening in schools today. Partnerships are
helping meet the challenges of today. Partners are helping educators
and students prepare for the challenges of tomorrow because...
Quality education is everybody's business.
PARTNERSHIP PROCESS
Much hasbeen written about how to create an educational partnership
program. Just as this book was written to save you from reinventing
the wheel, we will shale what we have found to be an of festive process.
The National School Volunteer Program has developed a handbook:
Creating and Managing a Corporate School Partnership Program. It
has been thoroughly tested nationally with much success. In capsule
form, the process has been divided into the following steps:
Awareness
Needs Assenment
Formulation of Goals
Defining Objectives
Identifying Potential Resources
Program Design
Recruitment
Orientation
Training
Assignment
Recognition
Evaluation
Once you have determined that you want to embark on a partnership
plan, this process can be utilized. It can be used to develop the district-
wideprogramguidelinesandalsoaseachpartnerdevelopshisunique
partnership plan.
The most crucial element for success for partnerships is to have
support from the top. State Education Commissioner Betty Castor has
made strengthening relationships with the business community a
priority for the Department of Education. At the district level, the
Superintendent and School Board will establish the broad program
goals and policies. The Partnership Advisory Committee should be
established to include representatives from business, district school
offices, individual schools and teachers. At the school level, the
principal will establish specific school priorities and guidelines for
partnership activities. Each partner will need support from the top;
someone must sanction the allocation of resources, whether that
resource is manpower, materials or money.
Once these decisions are made and partners are matched, the
individual partners work together within established guidelines to
plan activities that combine their resources to meet their needs. One
person should be identified to serve as liason for each partner. Roles
and responsibilities should be defined and written agreements help
ensure that partnership activities conform to both school and business
policies.
A Publication of the
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
OFFICE OF BUSWESS & CITIZEN PARTNERSHIPS
r Start small and build on your successes. Be sure to recognize and thank
your partners for their contributions to enhance and improve
education. Remember, too, that evaluation needs to be an ongoing
process. Working collaboratively as partners, we are learning more
about each other. The community becomes more aware of the
strengths, needs and constraints of the education system, and
educators become more aware of the needs and concerns of the
community. When we combine our resources to meet our identified
needs, we all win, especially the students! That is the measure of our
success...
