Teaching and Learning Through Community Partnerships

Session 4
David Sokoloff, Luke Van Meter, Jeremy Spry — Science Leadership Academy, The Franklin Institute
Lab D

In this session, we will briefly present how Science Leadership Academy has set up systems and partnerships.

The session will be very interactive; participants will work to come up with ways to extend learning opportunities beyond the expertise of the faculty already in a school. Together, we will workshop ways to integrate community partners into the existing structures of a school and start to identify types of programs people would like to bring to their learning environment.

Working with community partners (museums, universities, businesses, individuals) to create ‘informal’ programming can effectively complement a school’s formal curriculum. It can be an especially attractive option when funding and other resources are scarce, since partnerships leverage the resources of other entities, often in mutually beneficial ways.

Conversational Practice

The first part will be a brief presentation from a series of programming Google Docs people will have access to and can comment on - to provide context and background to what ‘informal’ programming can be.

Values conversation on what meaningful programming is and should be - not specific partnerships or programs but TYPES of programs - brainstorm categories on shared Google Doc.

Group research: looking for individuals, programs, organizations, etc. that might fit into one or many of the categories above.

Share out: - what research yielded - how they might bring those programs to their school.
