This session will present initiatives led by the Strategic Partnerships & Community Engagement (SPACE) Office at Boston University Wheelock, emphasizing our role as a “boundary spanner” in shaping the strategic direction of the College and building sustainable and reciprocal partnerships with the Boston Public Schools (BPS). In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore one of our most exciting partnerships, The Dr. Carol Johnson District Leadership Fellowship. We’ll share documents we have created to guide the mission of our office and explore the transition from conceptualizing metrics in our strategic plan to implementing them within our work with BPS.
