    NYU and JetBlue: Partnerships that Work
    (2006-01-01) Lynch, Douglas E; Barger, Michael
    In a knowledge economy, every organization must place a priority on developing talent: finding and keeping the right employees and helping them succeed in life and work is the fulcrum strategy for productivity at all levels. Implementing that strategy is an almost overwhelming proposition that requires enormous resources, particularly in a highly competitive environment. Higher education and employers can benefit from working with each other to maximize human capital, but it is a collaboration that requires flexibility and goodwill on everyone’s part. This article, while introducing some of the literature on partnerships between higher education and corporations, also provides some anecdotal tips on how to proceed; more than anything else, it is a testimonial based on the partnership between New York University (NYU) and JetBlue as to what can be, as opposed to what is.

    Why We Partner with Teach for America: Changing the Conversation
    (2008-06-01) Koerner, Mari; Lynch, Douglas E; Martin, Shane
    We have been invited to respond to Megan Hopkins' article because our schools partner with Teach for America (TFA) to prepare corps members in our graduate programs. Why? Because we maintain a deep commitment to preparing and placing effective, knowledgeable, and caring teachers in every classroom. Thus we seek out viable partners who can help in our efforts to counteract the impact on students of extreme teacher shortages and diminishing confidence in the positive outcomes of teacher education programs. We partner with TFA to provide comprehensive teacher preparation programs — not mere backdoor or emergency approaches. Our programs actively support new teachers.

    Profiling a New Breed of Learning Executive
    (2006-02-01) Sugrue, Brenda; Lynch, Douglas E
    In May 2005, The Graduate School of Education and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania held a summit of approximately 40 chief learning officers from Fortune 500 companies and other large organizations. Polling the group about their backgrounds uncovered what is mirrored in this article: people took many paths to become CLOs, but there is no clear credentialing track. While chief learning officers are responsible for the professional educational development of millions of people, there is no school with a curriculum to prepare this group of powerful and influential individuals. Penn’s business and education schools are joining forces to develop a credentialing program for CLOs. Targeting newly appointed CLOs, experienced CLOs, and those aspiring to the position, the modular program will offer executive education and applied research opportunities—and may ultimately lead to a doctoral degree in education. Focusing on business strategy and management, leadership, instructional design, technological integration, and problem solving, the program defines the path for a potential CLO, supports and develops the current CLO, and increases the public’s understanding of this role.
