Metropolitan
Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), the Metro Area Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and
Sage Leadership Partners, Inc. are collaborating on an innovative education initiative, focused on real-world business,
teaching and learning connections. This partnership is a key
part of the MNPS’ Small Learning Community redesign efforts, integrating the professional experiences of Nashville’s executive leaders into digital learning opportunities for
students and teachers.
This project
will mobilize over 100 of Nashville’s business leaders to share their
personal and professional career experiences for the benefit of students.
This project uses digital media and digital service learning as the platform
for Nashville students (middle school through college) to learn from and apply the compelling stories of
highly successful leaders.
Specifically,
the partnership:
Mobilizes
Middle Tennessee’s leading professionals to share their stories
and career insights for the benefit of students (i.e. volunteer 45
minutes for an onsite interview to share information about their
profession, career pathway, and provide real-world advice for
students);
Mobilizes
Middle Tennessee's leading college students and high school seniors
to interview successful professionals throughout the Middle
Tennessee region;
Creates
a searchable bank of interviews that are open sourced, i.e., they
become part of a centralized, searchable streaming media database,
accessed by students throughout the world;
Provides
access for MNPS to a global library of other interviews that are
created in other partnerships around the world.
Sage
Leadership Partners has already secured the future participation of
over 200 of the world’s leading professionals and scholars to
participate in this initiative, including 7 Nobel Laureates and 34
MacArthur Fellows. Complete information about Sage Leadership
Partners, Inc. can be found at www.sageleadership.org. Learn more about this project. Send an email, info@sageleadership.org.
