Perhaps your school or district budget has been reduced due to cutbacks, and you're interested in building community support. Or perhaps community engagement is a core part of your mission. Or perhaps your business, chamber, or foundation wants to learn how to work with education more closely to produce measurable outcomes. In all of these cases, the K-12 Partnership Report is a must-read.

In January 2009, DeHavilland Associates launched a new subscription-based newsletter providing practical information to education and business leaders interested in building strong and sustainable partnerships. The newsletter will be published ten times per year (monthly except June and December).

Each issue of the newsletter offers 12-16 pages of original content targeted to the interests of partnership practitioners. Types of content presented in KPR include:

• At least two case studies in every issue, highlighting successful models in other markets and showing how and why they work
• Descriptions of best practices, helping you run an efficient and effective operation
• Interviews with practitioners and market experts, giving you insight into the market and the partnership process
• Research summaries, providing you with the evidence you need to make your case for workforce development, mentoring, etc.
• News, including industry updates, reviews of new resources, and information on upcoming events

Each issue of the newsletter is organized into themes, with many (though not all) of the features tied to those themes. The 2009 calendar includes the following themes:

• January: Working with businesses on STEM partnership programs
• February: Face to face: mentorships and volunteer programs
• March: Building an effective fundraising operation
• April: What partners need from you
• May: Strategic planning for your partnership efforts
• July: Creating effective evaluation and measurement models
• August: Increasing your public profile - community outreach
• September: Managing your partnership operation
• October: Launching your own school foundation
• November: Building effective workforce development programs

Note that KPR is delivered electronically, as a PDF file; there is no print version.

Bulk orders : If you'd like to order multiple subscriptions so that every principal in your district, or every member of your organization, can receive their own copy, send us an email; we offer significant discounts on bulk orders and would be happy to talk with you about it.

Distribution policy: While K12 Partnership Report is delivered as an electronic document, we ask readers to treat the publication as they would any print-based newsletter to which they subscribe. Specifically, you can pass it around to an associate or two in the office - but we ask that you NOT blast it out across your district or the membership of your organization. We do not add any security features to the PDF newsletters because we trust our readers to follow reasonable guidelines in sharing KPR with colleagues; if you have any questions, or would like to learn more about purchasing bulk subscriptions so that every school in your district receives a copy, contact Brett Pawlowski via email or at 704-940-3201.
