WHY was the Educational Partnership formed?

• The Claremont Educational Partnership was formed in the belief that an effective cooperation would benefit the Community, the School District and the Colleges.
  • BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY: A strong public school system in Claremont enriches the community and develops well informed leaders for the next generation.
  • BENEFIT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Provides greater access to the resources of the Colleges through programs such as:
    • Sharing in college-based programs
    • Volunteer services of college students
    • Faculty development opportunities
    • Use of technology in education
    • Advanced coursework for students
    • Expanded library resources
  • BENEFIT TO THE COLLEGES: Enhances the educational development and professional growth of students and faculty by providing:
    • Information on student education programs
    • "Hands-on" experience in classroom learning for students
    • Interaction with instructors of future college students
    • Opportunities for personal growth for students and faculty through community service

WHAT type of activities are involved?

• The Partnership has chosen to focus its efforts on the following areas of emphasis:
  • Faculty/staff development (of professional skills) through cooperative college - school district programs.
  • Pre-professional training/experience for student volunteers in tutorial/internship programs.
  • Service learning and other community service opportunities through the efforts of the Volunteer Coordinators Program.
  • Facility/resource sharing (especially in the technology area which affords the school district access to the college computer resources).
  • Program sharing with the school district in such areas as the arts, music and health education.
  • Diversity and international awareness through programs such as the new "World of Cultures" program at the Colleges' International Place.
  • Grants for on-going cooperative ventures by lending expertise and advice in grant writing efforts.
