Welcome to Partnerships For Success

With the new school year underway, it is a good time to review partnerships and update the database of partnerships. Also GRANT opportunities are available to support partnerships. The information is available in the "Initiatives" section. Also, a new Blog is available. See the link about, right, and check it out. Please participate!

Partnerships for Success has a simple but bold mission: to improve the educational opportunities, as well as the future prospects for all Rhode Island students. Strategic partnerships between our state’s PK-12 schools and our institutions of higher education are a critically important part of the state’s effort to raise the levels of academic achievement, ensure college and work readiness and expand civic engagement opportunities for students.

VIPS Inspiring Minds: Reading Buddies

Reading Buddies is a research based literacy intervention program for Providence elementary school...
“The comprehensive nature of the engagements outlined in this effort illustrates what can be achieved when true collaboration exists.  It is our hope that by building on these achievements -- by seeking greater collaboration and efficiency -- our institutions of higher education will continue to partner in strengthening the PK-12 system in our state.  In doing so we will all benefit; intellectually, economically and culturally.  The future of our institutions, our state and its citizens depends on such collaboration, and I am confident that the Partnerships for Success examples are the foundation that future success can be built upon.”     
Dr. Irving Schneider, President, Johnson & Wales, Providence Campus
