GUIDELINES FOR SCHOOL-BUSINESS PARTNERSH

A practical guide to setting up school-business partnerships to increase the interest and competence of elementary, junior, and high-school students in science and mathematics. Based on detailed studies of 24 school-business partnerships around the country, this guide identifies specific sources of problems and strategies for success, and offers straightforward, practical recommendations for those who are thinking of starting or improving existing partnerships. The experiences examined focus on math and science, but most of the recommendations apply equally to partnerships in other subjects. Co-sponsored by the National Association of Partners in Education.
