1. Establish a clear purpose and goals
The first step in creating a successful partnership is to establish a clear purpose and goals. What do you want to achieve through the partnership? What are the specific outcomes you are hoping to see?
Once you have a clear purpose and goals, you can develop a plan to achieve them. This plan should include specific strategies and activities that will be implemented by both the district and the school.

- Celebrating successes together
3. Share resources and expertise
One of the major benefits of district-school partnerships is the opportunity to share resources and expertise. This can include sharing:
