Nurturing Very Important Learners Through Community Partnerships

The learning environment, encompassing formal education, informal education, life experience, and community partnerships, plays a crucial role in guiding Very Important Learners (VILs) towards their goals. Various entities, including schools, museums, and individuals, provide structured and authentic learning opportunities to support VILs in their educational journey. These partnerships are established for diverse reasons, ranging from state mandates to economic development goals. Ultimately, the collaboration between stakeholders and VILs shapes a dynamic educational landscape.
