Cadence Theatre's STAGE WRITE program has been working in partnership with RPS since its inception in 2015. Throughout the years, we have provided free instruction and professional development  and increased the RPS high schools we serve. In 2019, we aligned our curriculum with the VDOE approved Creative Writing curriculum and work with one creative writing class in each school once/week. We are currently working virtually in three schools for this first semester: Armstrong, John Marshall, and Huguenot and will be adding the following schools in 2021: Richmond Community, George Wythe, and Franklin Military.

STAGE WRITE
The STAGE WRITE student leadership and workforce readiness program provides Richmond and regional high school students with an opportunity to gain experience in critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills, and teamwork through writing and performing narratives that are directly relevant to the issues they face in their own lives. Now in its sixth year, the program is based on pedagogy that demonstrates that performing arts training builds workforce readiness skills and lifelong personal strengths. STAGE WRITE is led by professional arts educators and involves a curriculum specially created for the program.

Partnership Process - Partner Inquiry Vetting

A key part of the community partnership process is to efficiently and effectively screen incoming partnership inquiries to ensure that strong potential partnerships are explored in a timely manner, and those that we are unable to engage in receive information as to why the decision is made. Pursuant to this, we have laid out the below process for vetting partnership inquiries.

To objectively evaluate the merit of each partnership inquiry we receive, please consider the following framework for evaluation, the purpose of which is to gauge whether the partnership is a mutual fit. We will evaluate partners along two dimensions: lift and impact. Lift refers to the amount of internal effort the partnership will take to launch and support. Impact refers to the potential this partnership has to make a difference in the daily experiences of our staff, families, and students.

Our goal is to engage in partnerships that maximize the impact on our schools, while minimizing the amount of time and resources required to make the partnership effective. As a result, we will evaluate partnerships as summarized below.

Step 2: RPS Lead Evaluation

To determine where in the Lift vs. Impact Matrix each prospective community partner falls, we will use a common rubric for all partnership screenings that evaluate along both criteria. Our scores will be inputted into a tracker, which will total the partner s score along all aspects of the rubric and determine the overall evaluation of the potential partnerships. Green partnerships will automatically enter into next steps, yellow partners will be considered for further discussion, and red partners will be tactfully declined.

When considering your evaluation of the lift of a given partner, consider these guiding questions:
- Does the partner appear to have sufficient capacity to meet the goals it identifies?
- If there is a request for financial support, is it the best use of available resources?
- Do we (RPS) have the necessary capacity to fully engage in this partnership at this time?

When considering your evaluation of the impact of a given partner, consider these guiding questions:
- Is there clear alignment between the partner s proposal and the RPS Strategic Plan or related priorities?
- Do we have existing partners providing similar services at as high or higher quality and at sufficient scale?

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistencies—in this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
