LJH: A Case Study

1072 Words5 Pages

Three key Community Resource for Partnerships for LJH are MCFD, Beacon Community Services and Panorama (CRD). Each is important to our school community for differing reasons. Beacon Community Services presently is an integral partner because of the many services they offer to the school’s families and children who are in need. The partnership is working because of a consistent and continuing commitment to keep up and create new opportunities for collaboration. This includes yearly strategic planning meetings with the Director or Children’s Programs and Counselling Services to use the present partnership programs in place and plan for new initiatives. Right now, there are no noticeable gaps and/or shortcomings in this relationship. What is clear, …show more content…

This resource is well accessed by some members of the community and seen as antagonistic of unusable by others (Callahan & Swift, 2007; Foster, 2011). As discussed previously, because of the geographic reality of LJH, some supports such as family resources, mental health, and counselling supports are not abundantly available directly in the community. This places additional pressure on the local resources (MCFD being one) to care for the students and families. Presently, the relationship between LJH and MCFD is working at some levels but does have gaps and shortcomings. These shortcomings primarily occur because of conflict surrounding roles, responsibilities and the perceived lack of follow-through by the school community of this partner. A key means to improve this partnership is to minimize conflict (Epstein, 2009, p. 97) possibly by the participation of MCFD on an Action Team for Partnership. By creating an environment where these partners and LJH learn to function well as a team, the teams desired results can be achieved while also supporting partners needs and …show more content…

These partnerships have included sharing of growth mindset resources, staff and parent participation in self-regulation workshops facilitated from these partnerships along with a recent collaboration and discussion regarding the principals of inclusion as our district discusses moving to a non-categorical model. These initial engagements (we began engaging in Twitter 3 years ago and now have over 400 followers) show a huge potential for partnerships that would be enhanced with the creation of an Action Team for Partnership at

  • Statement Of Purpose: Sartell-St. Stephen Board Of Education

    Over my short, seventeen-year lifetime, I have had passions in many areas, from geography to soccer to leadership. However, as I have grown older, I have had a growing passion for the schools in my area because they taught me everything that I know and have given me all the opportunities that I have taken advantage of. Because of this growing passion, I became involved in two very important organizations that influence the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District: the Community Schools Planning Initiative and the Sartell – St. Stephen Board Of Education. The Community Schools Planning Initiative was launched at the start of 2015 in order to come up with a vision for the future of the Sartell – St. Stephen School District and a plan to match that

Strengths and weaknesses of specific initiatives become more easily recognized after reviewing the standards as well. One strong example that reflects the essential features of one of the PTA Standards is our district’s Strategic Planning initiative. Standard 5 states that families should be “full partners in making decisions that affect their children at school and in the community” (PTA, 2008, Standard 5, p. 1). The Strategic Planning initiative involved the development of a focus
