NJAPIE: Building
Effective Partnerships
NJAPIE Mission Statement
The mission of the New Jersey Association of Partners in Education is
to develop and maintain an alliance of business/education partnerships
programs, volunteer programs, organizations, associations and individuals.
The goal of this organization is the establishment of a state network
of partnerships that will improve the quality of New Jersey's schools
and the academic and social development of students.
NJAPIE Goals
- Encourage alliances between the public and private sectors that will
improve academic achievement.
- Foster the development of successful educational partnerships among
school districts, higher education institutions, and business and community
organizations.
- Share information on successful partnership programs and connect participants
with these programs.
- Develop a training institute for teams from various groups to improve
knowledge and skills in developing and sustaining educational partnerships.
- Advocate policies that support public/private collaboration and increase
resources for these partnerships.
School District Partners
Today's students need a broad range of resources to prepare for the challenges
that lay ahead. Linking schools with businesses, higher education institutions,
and community organizations is one effective approach to obtaining these
resources.
Through diverse activities such as mentoring, student internships, staff
development and training, and other innovative partnerships, member districts
can more effectively address student needs that reach beyond the walls
of the classroom.
Corporate and Organizational Partners
Today's competitive marketplace requires a better educated and trained
workforce. Corporate and organizational membership in NJAPIE allows you
to play a direct role in support of educational improvements throughout
New Jersey. As you seek to improve workforce readiness, NJAPIE offers
credible opportunities to leverage your resources.
Higher Education Partners
The coordination of pre-kindergarten through post-secondary education
requires the active involvement of higher education institutions with
elementary and secondary schools. NJAPIE provides colleges and universities
with opportunities to further develop and promote their partnerships with
schools.
Higher education's commitment to partnerships designed to improve education
in our schools is tied directly to issues regarding admissions criteria,
curriculum articulation, and joint programs, all of which have become
increasingly important to educators.
