Just finished EDLD 5326

I have just finished EDLD 5326.  I have learned a lot from this class.  I learned about how to try and get the community to work with the school as a partner.  Before this class I had never really though about how important the community is for a school.  I always thought about how important the parents and the school were.  I have learned through this that there are community programs within my own school district.  There are programs where businesses come into the school as mentors.  There are also programs where organizations purchase dictionaries for students.  I have found that it is important for an administrator to know how to encourage a community partnership.  I am hoping I will be able to use this knowledge in my career.  I think that I can even use this knowledge as a teacher.  I can reach out to members of the community to come into my classroom.  It will benefit the community and the students.
