How do we define strategic partnerships?<\/h3>\n
Strategic partnerships describe authentic collaboration with local, regional\/state, national, and global organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, and other entities in the public and private sectors. BU Wheelock\u2019s strategic partnerships are one of the ways we enact community engagement and advocacy work. Learn more about our community engagement<\/a> and read about some of the impacts of this work<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Our goal is to work with our partners to bring about systemic transformation across the education and human development field. We aim to do this through <\/span>authentic collaboration and sustainable and reciprocal partnerships.<\/p>\n Partnerships exist in many different forms. From a research-practice partnership with a school, district, or educational agency to a faculty leadership position on a non-profit board to the contribution of research to advocate for change at the local, state, or national level. Strategic partnerships usually involve multiple faculty members active in initiatives involving both research and practice aimed at addressing critical societal issues and striving for systemic change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Are you a community partner that would like to become involved in BU Wheelock\u2019s community engagement and advocacy work?
