Educational Partnerships in Rocky View School Division, Part
1

Brenda Gladstone, Rocky View School Division &
D. Michele Jacobsen, University of Calgary

Abstract

Educational Partnerships are an important strategy for
increasing the authenticity and value of school for our
future citizens. In addition to the financial benefits that
business-school partnerships often bring to schools, there is
a variety of teaching and learning benefits of making links
with the community at large. This paper outlines a number of
reasons why schools, business, industry, and other agencies
in the community should actively pursue educational
partnerships, shares examples of successful and valuable
educational partnerships in Rocky View School Division, and
concludes with an examination of some issues and concerns. In
subsequent discussion, Part 2 of this paper, we examine in
detail the educational partnerships that have contributed to
the success of the Galileo Centre at Banded Peak School in
Bragg Creek, Alberta.

Educational Partnerships in Rocky View School Division, Part
2: Galileo Centre at Banded Peak School

D. Michele Jacobsen, University of Calgary &
Brenda Gladstone, Rocky View School Division

Abstract

In this second paper about educational partnerships in Rocky
View School Division, we report on the school-business
partnerships that have contributed to the success of the
Galileo Centre at Banded Peak School in Bragg Creek, Alberta,
in its first full year of operation. This report summarizes
partnership activities and initiatives that have been
implemented in the school, and suggests directions for future
linkages. The need for joint evaluation of the outcomes of an
educational partnership will also be discussed, and ways in
which educators and stakeholders can work together for the
assessment of the partnership are described.
