Partners puts people first. Partners recognizes that our educational system is made up of people and through them, improvements can happen. Partners finds ways to help more of those people improve through intentional and strategic systems developments that help adults learn HOW to help students. They do not just help schools and districts with WHAT to do, but help to provide a HOW that fits with your current structure and system. All the while, ensuring that they can work themselves out of a job becasue in everything they do, capacity building is imbedded. Having worked with other non-profits in other parts of the country, PartnersSI is a model for what all should be able to do.
