Site coordinators (principals, school staff, or community-based organization leaders) can take inventory of existing programs and partners within their school using this tool. This process can take time to complete, but can help to clarify the partnership landscape at a school site. This is the spreadsheet version of this tool.
Use this tool at the start of a new partnership or new school year to design or revise a partnership between a school and one or more community-based organizations. The staff member from the school who will be the lead on supporting the partnership and the community-based organization leader(s) who will manage and/or implement the program should complete this form.
Partnerships are stronger when there are mechanisms in place to facilitate shared decision-making. Use this template to clarify the roles of partners and others in key decision areas that may arise.
This checklist is intended to help community-based service providers to begin a discussion with a school, or to check in on a particular partnership. It can also be used to orient staff to the basics of shared vision and leadership in partnerships generally.
This checklist is designed to help leaders in community-based organizations plan for program and partnership sustainability through inevitable periods of transition.
