|a The following plan is a study of a proposed partnership between one neighborhood,
Madison Park in Charlotte, North Carolina, and its elementary school, Pinewood Elementary.
The objective of this plan is to identify the need for neighborhood and school partnerships,
provide strategies to meet the need and reveal potential benefits. The key parties involved in
implementing the plan are identified.
The purpose and rationale sections of this plan demonstrate the state of public education,
not just in Charlotte, but in the United States. Statistical data from United States President, Barak
Obama, and Jeffrey Canada, education activist, warn about the current state of our education
system and the need for reform (see pages 23-24). They both recommend collaboration between
community and schools as a means to success and reform (see page 3). Collaboration as a key
component for building community is defined (see page 4).
Evaluation, prior to recommending strategies, of the neighbor’s perception of the school
was performed. The survey collected the neighbor’s impressions, ideas and recommendations
(see page 8). Specific strategies on how to create collaborative partnership are based upon at
Ervin Goffman’s (2009) dramaturgical approach of impression management, frame, footing and
face (see pages 8-10). Strategies incorporate how to build a strategic relationship between the
school principal and the homeowner’s association president, storytelling, joint projects between
the two parties, branding and marketing, and examination of mission and vision statements (see
pages 12-17).
Information for the plan was collected from the neighborhood survey (see appendix A for
full survey results), attendance at homeowner’s association meetings, school partnership
meetings, and grant meetings. The study of a current successful partnership in the Charlotte
Mecklenburg School system, joint projects already in place between Pinewood and Madison
Park, and my personal partnership experience are used to suggest strategies (see pages 12-17).
Current innovative initiatives offer long range planning and strategies to build
community and collaboration (see page 7). The plan focuses on Pinewood Elementary and the
Madison Park neighborhood, however, these strategies are universal and can be implemented
between other community and school partnerships. |
