Discovering Opportunities for School and Community Partnerships

Our district leadership team has been engaged in digital leadership training for over a year now. Recently, we began reading Eric Sheninger's Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times.  Chapter 11 is about the importance of developing partnerships that enhance the mission and goals of the district and campuses. This week I attended CAMT, Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching, with over thirty of the teachers in the district where Kim Sutton was one of the presenters. We use many of her resources with our students and to the teachers, she's famous! I was so happy to make their day and introduce them to Kim, a truly brilliant mathematical thinker and a great mathematician. They took pictures with her, tweeted them, and posted them on Facebook. The most exciting part is Kim offered to Skype with their classes and do activities, discussions, etc. this year. We are so excited about this "partnership"!
