Building effective partnerships between PK-12 schools, local colleges and universities, and community based organization is one of the key ways we can improve outcomes for our PK-12 students in Rhode Island.   This interactive workshop will focus on key strategies for initiating and sustaining strong school/ community/higher education partnerships to support PK-12 service-learning initiatives.  We will highlight examples from existing service-learning partnerships in Rhode Island and elsewhere. School leaders and teachers from all grade levels and subject areas are welcome.  Community and higher education partners encouraged to attend.
