Meeting these challenges requires a common purpose involving students, parents, businesses, educators and others. To help achieve thiscommon purpose, a partnership was formed among the Alberta Chamber of Resources, Alberta Career Development and Employment, Alberta Education, the Alberta Teachers' Association, the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, and the Construction Owners of Alberta. In the spring of 1992 an interim document called "Skill Development: Business-Education Partnerships" was produced. It featured partnerships and innovative programs to help students make the transition from school to workplace or on to further study. Asurvey examined partnerships between schools and businesses. Among suggestions from respondents were that programs should start out small with a clear purpose and have support from throughout the organizations involved. Most of the businesses involved in partnerships thought they were successful and planned to continue them. Chapters in this report provide guidelines fora successful partnership, an overview of partnerships in Alberta, descriptions of some innovative Alberta partnerships, and descriptions of other initiatives. Appendices include a partnership profile,a map of Alberta school zones, and an inventory of Alberta partnerships. Contains 31 references.

In tribute to their outstanding contributions to education in Alberta, 128 teachers from across the province have been chosen as finalists for the 15th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards. Three of these finalists are in the running for the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. "Great teachers do more than teach. They ignite a desire for learning and knowledge that will equip our young people for lifelong success," said Dr. Lyle Oberg, Minister of Learning. "These finalists are representative of the many teachers across Alberta whose commitment and innovative approaches to learning inspire students and colleagues." The 128 finalists will receive finalist award certificates, which will be presented to them at local ceremonies in their schools or communities. The finalists were chosen from 418 nominees by a selection committee of representatives of stakeholder groups and education partners in the Early Childhood Services (ECS) to Grade 12 learning community. Finalists for the Excellence in Teaching Awards demonstrated creativity, innovation and effectiveness in teaching. On May 10, 2003, a dinner and awards ceremony will be held in Edmonton to present Excellence in Teaching Awards to 21 of Alberta's most outstanding teachers, one of whom will be awarded the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. Recipients will be selected from the 128 finalists. "The Excellence in Teaching Awards are an important way to publicly recognize teachers who have demonstrated their dedication to education in this province," added Dr. Oberg. "Congratulations to all teachers for their hard work in the lives of students and I thank all Albertans for showing their appreciation by nominating these special teachers." The 15th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards are presented by Alberta Learning with the support of The Document Company, XEROX, the Alberta School Boards Association, The Edmonton Journal, SMARTer Kids Foundation, and the Alberta Chambers of Commerce.
