3 p3 INTRODUCTION CCSD has developed a centralized clearinghouse to coordinate partners that meet with students at school on a regular, ongoing basis (e.g., daily, weekly). Benefits of the Clearinghouse: Provide transparency & equity for partners Protect instructional time Match schools needs with organizations services Identify opportunities for collaboration among organizations Quantify & celebrate organizations contributions Measure impact Things to Consider - before saying Yes and inviting a partner into your school: Respect the school day. Can a partner meet with students before school, after school, on weekends, summer? Protect instructional time. Is scheduling based on time(s) that do not interrupt student learning? Be strategic. Is there a match between partner's services and students needs? Be high-quality. Will time that students spend with a partner boost academic or non-academic performance more than the time that they could have spent with school staff? It s okay to say No. If an organization tells you that they have been approved by the district, that doesn t mean that you must have them in your school. If in doubt, please direct an organization to: CCSD Office of Strategy & Communications partnerships@charleston.k12.sc.us Partnerships Point-of-Contact: Each school should assign a Partnerships Coordinator (e.g., guidance counselor, assistant principal) to serve as your point-of-contact for all organizations coming into your school. BOTTOM LINE Our goal is to be strategic with every minute that students spend at school. We want to ensure that each student is getting the specific services that he/she needs to boost his/her academic and non-academic performance. We want to schedule the right services for the right children at the right time in the day for the right duration.
