Strategic Decisions & Partnerships is a group of concerned educators, corporate leaders and citizens whom are networking together to improve education in all the America's.  In 2006 we began forming a foundation, led by Peter F. Fiorentino, a graduate student working on completing his Dissertation (Organizational Dynamics of Higher Education in Central America) towards achieving his Educational Doctorate (Ed.D) in Leadership & Administration from the University of Rochester, in upstate New York.
 

Our organizations overall mission is  to effectively join classrooms between South, Central and North America for greater cultural understanding and continuity.

Please click on any of the colored links below to be linked to our website for more specific information on our many programs.  Each year we will be visiting a new "Green Zone" country in Latin America. Our dedicated educators are volunteering all their time, and we have assembled a fantastic outdoor adventure curriculum.  Which will begin exploring jungles, volcanoes, oceans and classrooms LIVE FROM COSTA RICA. 

Come join us for one of our "Green Zone" educational adventures... either as an individual teacher or bring your entire class.  Why not start integrating our children to have first hand educational experiences with children of very different culture   and background?  We can learn so much from one another!!!!

SDPUS will be holding quarterly "Conferences" with travel excursions for five nights each event, to begin in beautiful Tamarindo, Costa Rica.  It's going to be absolutely fabulous...we will be providing staff workshops for training development, taught by many notable International Professors and Corporate Leaders.

At the conference we will be discussing the topics of: Educational Leadership, Technology Innovation and Environmental Sustainability.  Please check out the details on our website and think about joining us.  We could use your help in a variety of ways, with no commitment being too small.

Participating organizations can exhibit their products and services at our exposé during the conference, and educators can participate in learning and development at our educational workshops...so come join the excitement and help further establish life-long professional connections for future international collaboration.

With the long awaited approval of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, foreign businesses are booming in Costa Rica. See how our "Research and Corporate Decision Analysis" expertise is helping businesses from abroad intelligently invest in the rapidly changing face of Guanacaste, Costa Rica.  Guanacaste is currently one of the quickest growing places on earth.  With this said, we are striving to control this growth by providing innovative solutions to provide a win-win scenario for all.

We are currently in the midst of a very busy fundraising drive in Corporate America for our Educational Giving Foundation.  We are actively seeking and garnering more "Partnering Professors" support from universities across the globe on a daily recurring basis.

We suggest that you share these opportunities with your staff and fellow colleagues.  Please help grow our educational network...it's vital for the future of us all, to effectively communicate and educate across borders to properly address many of our future educational and environmental concerns.  Our "Partnering Professors" offer many consultation services across the globe, while also volunteering in schools to help alleviate the "Brain Drain" in Latin America by donating their time and expertise to these developing world schools and universities. We already have a diverse team of professionals available for many differing needs.

Our team is also providing opportunities throughout the year for classroom travels to be guided by our adventurous educators by visiting the unique biodiversity of Costa Rica. If you are interested in bringing your students to Costa Rica please contact us and inquire about the many possibilities.  Check out the fantastic "School Trips" photos and videos on our website.  Email or call us for details on how your class can begin planning their own itinerary to visit Costa Rica.

Remember, we are a non-profit organization and all proceeds will be going to our Foundation which supports students and schools, by giving away a variety of scholarships and grants to some of the most needy children and school districts across all the America's.  The Guanacaste Province will serve as our first model community educational growth and development.  Be sure to visit the "Grants/Awards" link on our website to see exactly how our Foundation is setting out to build Eco-Sustainable Schools for all in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica.

Eventually, the aim of SDPUS is to fully implement these Eco-Friendly Education Programs throughout the developing world.  Be sure to visit our "Donating School Supplies" link and see how your gifts can help some of OUR MOST NEEDY CHILDREN.  See our video to understand just how grateful these children are, for everything that is done to benefit them. It's a truly rewarding experience.  We are in need of your help for this venture.  SDPUS ASKS THAT YOU PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IDEA.

Please come back to our website often, as we are constantly growing new ideas!  And remember our website is in its infancy and will be updated on a  monthly basis, so check back for our latest news and offerings!

Space is limited for many of our programs...so please register soon to ensure your school will be part of this great opportunity!  And come to Costa Rica yourself to contribute in helping solve these global challenges.  We guarantee you will not be disappointed!  Please call or email with any ideas you may want to discuss, or even just to ask more questions about who we our and what we are doing.  Pura Vida!

Sincerely,

Peter F. Fiorentino, President
