Cross-sectoral Collaboration in Public Education
Our commitment is to develop collaborative strategies which integrate the knowledge, ideas, expertise, resources, and networks of the nonprofit, private, public, and religious sectors in the transformation of elementary and secondary schools. Our ability to successfully usher in a new paradigm of whole school reform is rooted in how well we engage many industries and professions as we build and implement strategic partnerships. By focusing on the distinctive competencies of the persons and organizations comprising the sectors, co-collaborators can draw from a broader spectrum of information and assets.
The internationalization of our markets requires multidisciplinary and global perspectives that consider relationships across disciplines, professions, and markets. The cultural exchanges, information explosion, and technological revolution require an educational landscape unlike any that we have utilized to date. The increased utilization of cross-sectoral collaboration by domestic and global communities to address social, economic, and environmental challenges attests to the growing prominence of models that promote working together across traditional boundaries. Collaborative frameworks are timely because practically every sphere of society is impacted by the substandard academic performance of our students and schools.
We need to do a better job of integrating the academic training of our youth with the knowledge and skill requirements of the professions, organizations, and industries in which they will eventually lead, manage, and work. Cross-sectoral collaboration can be a vital part of our transition because it facilitates the creation of partnerships among educators and other professionals who know which skills our youth will need to be successful citizens, leaders, managers, and workers. This approach is one solution for bridging the gap between school and life beyond elementary and secondary matriculation.
