Mission & Vision
Mission
The Stark Education Partnership engages schools and school districts in fostering comprehensive education reform. The Partnership collaborates with educators and with business, community and civic leaders to build capacity that will lead to sustainable improvement in the county's schools.
Vision
The Stark Education Partnership's work concentrates both on building capacity among education stakeholders and engaging them in developing and implementing approaches to comprehensive change focusing on:
- P-16 Alignment - The Partnership helps to foster a seamless system of education in Stark County—beginning in pre-school and continuing through postsecondary education—that promotes strategies encouraging graduation from high school and enrollment in postsecondary education institutions.
- Leadership - The Partnership provides leadership in fostering systemic change while also encouraging new leadership approaches by the county’s educators including collaborations among district leaders, new models of leadership training, and the design and implementation of shared and distributive leadership models in the county.
- Engaging the community in the reform process - The Partnership reaches out to public officials, business leaders and county residents to inform them about education’s link to economic development and quality of life and engage them in supporting comprehensive change in education.
