MAJOR POINTS

Partnerships, whether internal or external, are more important than ever in reaching

organizational goals. Strong partnerships can mean achieving objectives, yet changing

boundaries and responsibilities make it difficult to build and sustain partnerships. This

chapter is divided into two sections: Transparencies and Handouts and Small Group

Activities for Workshops. The first section provides charts, diagrams, and summaries that

may be used as transparencies on overhead projectors or as printed handouts in presentations

and discussions with teachers, parents, and others. The second section provides the small

group activities to use in one day workshops to ensure that attendees understand the

presentations on each topic and can apply the information to their own schools.

Stakeholders are the support system to the goals of the Department of Education in

providing quality, equitable, culture-based, and complete basic education and at the same

time inculcating in them the love of the country. These include families, school

administrators, and communities that bring about the seeds of morality, cultural values, social
responsibilities, human affections, resources, and opportunities, for our learners. They are the

springboards of

expertise in skills and professions, and hobbies, among others. They are the sources of

encouragement, optimism, and resilience. This chapter show how the six types of

involvement can be targeted to attain specific goals to improve the school climate and

produce results for student success in the middle and high school grades. The activities

involve families and community partners in ways that help students make successful

transitions to the next school level, improve attendance, increase reading achievement,

improve math skills, improve student health, plan for postsecondary education, and create a

welcoming school environment.

Plan to involve students and families in activities that will make it easier for students

to transition and adjust to a new school. This module includes activities that welcome

students and their families to the school. ATPs may select, design, and schedule family and

community engagement activities to support students and their families new to the school,

transitioning to the next grade level, and transitioning to the next school level.

For a school to strengthen its partnership with stakeholders, it must have those

qualities and factors mentioned above. When these are met, then learners can have a better

quality of life and become essential contributors to the economic progress and stability of the

country.
