  Education Partnership Guidelines

The purpose of these guidelines is to improve the likelihood of success between the partnering teacher and education specialist or District volunteer. As the potential partnering teacher, please state your expectations of the education partnership. The teacher is expected to meet with the education specialist prior to the classroom visit and collaborate on pre/post lessons to meet designated learning outcomes. All lessons and activities will compliment the teacher's lessons. The education specialist will be in the classroom a minimum of three times per school year and can be expanded to a maximum of 8 classroom visits per year. The partnership will be evaluated by the end of the school year.
