The number of businesses partnering with education has risen dramatically from 42,200 in 1983-84 to approximately 200,000 in 1991. This study is one of only a handful to explore the business perspective toward business-education partnerships, examining what business-education partnerships look like as well as the interrelating mechanisms that guide them. More specifically, this project explores where business prioritizes its time and resources in these partnerships and why. The goals of this study were to: (1) learn how business representatives characterize their partnerships with education in terms of activities they engage in with students, teachers, and administrators; (2) uncover where business prioritizes time and resources and the rationale they give for placing higher priority on some activities than others; and (3) learn what outcomes business expects to achieve in their business-education partnerships. Business representatives were interviewed and asked to prioritize their partnership activities according to the time and resources committed to working with students, teachers, and administrators in the educational setting, changing company practices to support business-education partnerships, and working at a local, state, or national level to support education. Results of the study are organized according to the following categories: (1) Working with Students; (2) Working with Teachers; (3) Working with Administrators; (4) Changing Company Practices; and (5) Partnerships in Action. In (1), it was found that working directly with students was the highest priority for businesses in this study--Businesses want to work with students to inform them about opportunities to attend college and obtain employment. In (2), it was found that working with teachers was a priority for businesses as well, closely following working with students--Business representatives said that working with teachers is a high priority because teachers have the most impact on the education system and students. In (3), many business partners are working with administrators and view these activities as important because they see administrators as the gatekeepers to working with students and teachers. In (4), not many business representatives rated changing their own company practices as a high priority in their partnerships--The most common activities mentioned in this category were contracting with local educational institutions: to train employees; encouraging employees to get involved in the local educational system by serving on school boards and volunteering in schools; and collaborating with other businesses to form organizations that work toward improving education. Little attention was given to internal organizational or personnel changes as a part of business-education partnerships. In (5), the business representatives interviewed provided rich descriptions of partnerships that might serve as models for other business and education organizations to learn from and replicate. The last section of this report highlights a number of these partnerships.

Resource allocation decisions made by school boards, principals, and teachers are critical for they determine the adequacy and equity of resources actually made available for specific schools, educational programs and individual students. The most important resources are often concealed by aggregate state or district measures such as dollars per student. For these decisions, the most important resources are elements such as basic and supplemental staffing levels, staff time, funding amounts for textbooks and supplies, selection of new equipment (particularly technology), and support for new or renovated facilities. The authors review current practices at each important decision-making level in school districts, from the school board to the classroom. At each juncture, the findings are interpreted to reveal both the causes of the practices and their implications for improving school effectiveness. This book provides new research in helping to inform and improve resource allocation practices in schools. The general conclusion is that improvement in the resource allocation practices in education requires a shift in focus to results instead of inputs, a strong emphasis on student learning as the primary focus of decisions, and systematic evaluation of results.

In terms of the economic bottom line, effective school leaders are now supposed to pay close attention to two central tasks which involve managing resources and devising operational strategies in their action plans. Taking a postmodern viewpoint, the first part of this paper aims to discuss the significance of resource allocation in education and the necessity for competing priorities over what needs to be reviewed and done appropriately in the new organization. This part establishes a solid background for a further discussion on the evolving process of business techniques in resource allocation, which begins with strategic planning and then moves onto strategic thinking, values-based approach, metastrategic management and appreciative inquiry. A critical portion of this paper which is concerned with practical strategic management techniques examines the uses of the Balanced Scorecard and the Triple Bottom Line in school management with an investigation into the complementary relationship between the two terms in educational settings. It is mainly argued throughout this analysis that there needs to be a better understanding of the members' values and beliefs in educational leadership.

The highly individualistic people of North America have always had common experiences that united them. From the Boston Commons to Banff National Park, the people in these accounts sought support and renewal in these shared places and events. Ceremonies support partnerships today as they have in the past. The music partnership where the orchestra plays the 1812 Overture and the cannon on the hill in Kingston, Ontario is fired is discussed in Chapter 6. The musical celebrations represent the achievements of a dedicated group maintaining a partnership of musicians and teachers. Other partnerships reach across boundaries to achieve what would never have been expected before founding the new partnerships.

The first part presents the policy context for needs-based formula funding, the second examines technical matters related to the construction of funding formulae and the third part presents case studies in five countries (Australia, England and Wales, United States and New Zealand). The conclusion offers a 'checklist' for senior decision-makers in Ministries of Education that highlights the pre-conditions for undertaking a successful implementation of needs-based formula funding.
