This training experience offers multiple facets to support work in your local community, with each aspect focused on the goal of developing and sustaining community partnerships to benefit your early care and education programming. First, community partnership work is strengthened with an understanding of collaboration theory and the context of systems building efforts across the birth to 5 field. We will then move to exploring the following questions together, and your experience of collaborative efforts at the community level:

  • What are collaborations?
  • What do they do in communities and how do they support access for children and families and quality of early care and education?
  • How can you use collaboration theory in your approach to building community partnerships to advance your work?

Our discussion of collaboration theory will move to hands-on work on developing and sustaining community partnerships with a deep dive in to a toolkit of resources to support local community collaboration work. The review of the organization of the toolkit, and the resources within, will further develop your understanding of how to approach partnerships. With sample tools most applicable to your stage of partnership work, we will explore issues related to implementing collaboration building strategies in your local community. The practical application of tools, including how to tailor to your individual community, will make up part of the hands-on work and discussion.​​

Storytizing is a framework and approach that teacher can use to engage children in critical literature-inquiry experiences that focus on developing children's understanding of the character, setting, and plot components of any storybook.
