Abstract
The present study aimed at assessing the need for partnership between private secondary schools in Jordan and the local community, according to the goals-based strategic planning model, from the point of view of its local educational leaders. The study community consisted of (189) educational leaders in Jordan; of which 128 were females and 61 were males. The questionnaire consisted of (7) dimensions and (36) statements. It was found that the reality of the partnership between private secondary schools in Jordan and the local community was moderate, whereas the importance was high. It was also found that there was a need for partnership between private secondary schools in Jordan and the community, according to the goals-based strategic planning model. No significant differences in the means that can be attributed to gender, experience and academic qualifications were found. Based on the results, several recommendations were suggested, such as formulating leadership measures to activate the partnership between private secondary schools in Jordan and the local community, according to the goals-based strategic planning model.

Summary
Decision makers and researchers have been increasingly interested in the relationship between the school and the local community This directed the Jordanian society to consider, with huge attention, the partnership between schools and the local community, as the agreement and integration of these two institutions occur in goals, objectives, ideas, and practices related to the educational process. A good educational leader must be able to create a common vision between school staff and local community members and urge them to pursue common objectives This partnership is believed to help improve the management of the educational systems and institutions, in order to facilitate the formation of technical skills, to facilitate the use of advanced educational methods, and to increase access to higher quality education (Talafhah, 2017, p187). This model is sometimes called the vision-based strategic planning model and is usually implemented and planned by the senior management of the organization
