Principles for Collaboration
The Lehman Center for School/College Collaboratives designs programs collaboratively to benefit whole schools, including students, teachers, guidance counselors, paraprofessionals, teacher's aides, and administrators. Programs designed this way have a greater potential for success than a series of disconnected programs.
- All partners are equal
- Involve school administrators/teachers/staff/students
- Broaden teacher/student contact in informal settings
- Activate parents and family involvement
- Focus on integrated learning experiences
- Develop a plan of action
- Establish linkages among projects
