  5. Framework for Authentic PartnershipsCitation: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Community-Higher Education Partnerships: Community Partners Speak Out! CCPH, 2007 1. Quality processes “We are not just talking about a process that involves partners. There needs to be a process of shared decision making.” ~ Ella Greene-Moton, Flint, MI Relationship focused…open, honest and respectful….trust-building…acknowledging of history…committed to mutual learning…sharing credit

  6. Framework for Authentic PartnershipsCitation: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Community-Higher Education Partnerships: Community Partners Speak Out! CCPH, 2007 2. Meaningful outcomes that are tangible and relevant to communities • “OK, we can work together on community-based participatory research, but only if you support our kids in the pipeline. Bring them to campus for programs, teach them skills they use to be more marketable, give them academic credit.” • ~ Vickie Ybarra, Toppenish, WA Eliminating health disparities…affordable housing…education, economic development…

  7. Framework for Authentic PartnershipsCitation: Achieving the Promise of Authentic Community-Higher Education Partnerships: Community Partners Speak Out! CCPH, 2007 • 3. Transformation at multiple levels “We build social capital when we’re doing this work. We don’t often talk about that.” ~ Douglas Taylor, Atlanta, GA • Personal transformation, including self reflection and heightened political consciousness • Institutional transformation, including changing policies and systems • Community transformation, including community capacity building • Transformation of science and knowledge, including how knowledge is generated, used and valued and what constitutes “evidence” • Political transformation, including social justice

  8. Principles of PartnershipCCPH board of directors, 1998 & 2006 • Partnerships form to serve a specific purpose and may take on new goals over time. • Partners have agreed upon mission, values, goals, measurable outcomes and accountability for the partnership. • The relationship between partners is characterized by mutual trust, respect, genuineness, and commitment. • The partnership builds upon identified strengths and assets, but also works to address needs and increase capacity of all partners. • The partnership balances power among partners and enables resources among partners to be shared.

  9. Principles of PartnershipCCPH board of directors, 1998 & 2006 • Partners make clear and open communication an ongoing priority by striving to understand each other's needs and self-interests, and developing a common language. • Principles and processes for the partnership are established with the input and agreement of all partners, especially for decision-making and conflict resolution. • There is feedback among all stakeholders in the partnership, with the goal of continuously improving the partnership and its outcomes. • Partners share the benefits of the partnership's accomplishments. • Partnerships can dissolve and need to plan a process for closure.

  10. CCPH Strategies • Create & expand opportunities for collaboration and information sharing • Promote awareness about the benefits of community-campus partnerships • Advocate for policies that facilitate & support community-campus partnerships • Support service-learning & community-based participatory research in higher education

  12. Multi-Site Change Collaboratives • Compelling case built on evidence • Commitment and participation from leaders and other key stakeholders at institutions that are ready to embark on a change process • Neutral convening body • Funding to support the collaborative process • Change model • Effective structures/systems for communication and shared learning • Mechanisms for measuring and reporting success • Guards against “they’re not like us” phenomenon • Strategic linkages to broader networks for change

  13. “Why do so many transformation efforts produce only middling results? One overarching reason is that leaders typically fail to acknowledge that large-scale change can take years. • Moreover, a successful change process goes through a series of eight distinct stages. These stages should be worked through in sequence. Skipping steps to try to accelerate the process invariably causes problems.” • John Kotter, Harvard Business School
