Partners in Education
A partner in Education, P.I.E., is a program that has been
developed to link a community with its schools. This program helps build a
support system between the schools and the job force. By working together, we
can strengthen the schools current programs, improve student achievement and
help build avenues and skills that students will need in the work force.
Partners with Benton
Benton is extremely fortunate to have some outstanding
partners in Education. We are very thankful for our continuing support from
Schneider Electric, Alarm Communication Center, and Wal-Mart Store #451. These
partners have been amazing. They are continually donating time, supplies and
funds to help support the students at Benton.
We are also overjoyed to announce that we have made some new
Partners in Education. Our partnership
with these new partners will look a little different than it does with our
current partners. Our new partners will be focusing on learning. We have
partnered with Columbia Career Center, Columbia College and the University of
Missouri. With our new partners, Benton’s students will have the opportunity to
have more of a hands-on approach to learning.
Columbia Career Center – We have combined with
Columbia Career Center to promote the early understanding of opportunities. The
students from the Career Center and the students from Benton will work together
to improve the drive for their future, that the younger students are lacking.
Students from Benton will have to opportunity to go to the Career Center and observe,
learn and interact with all of the occupational options available. Students
from the Career Center will have the opportunity to come to Benton to teach
students about what they do at the career center and why they chose that path
for their future.
Columbia College and University of Missouri- Our
partnership with Columbia College and the University of Missouri will be a
partnership that will focus on the education of Benton’s staff and the
education students. This program will focus on the continuing education of the
teachers at Benton and the learning of the education students. Benton staff,
Columbia College students and University of Missouri students will work
together to enhance the education for all.
