Beskrivning

Ferrara and Jacobson go inside community schools across the country to explore the different roles that make this collaborative education reform work. This book provides practitioners, policymakers, family members, youth, and local leaders a greater understanding of the different roles that make up a community school and tools for action. Built on years of practice, research, and continuous improvement, community schools are an innovative, effective, and grassroots strategy for bringing schools and communities together in order to improve outcomes for students, families, and communities. This education reform is growing as school site, local, and state leaders seek collaborative solutions to our schools’ most persistent challenges. The contributors, experts in the field, represent a diverse group of people with longstanding commitments to the community school strategy. From principals to family members, from community partners to teachers, this book illustrates how together, we all have a part to play in the development of successful community schools.

Recensioner i media

With its attention to the people who make community schools possible, this book can be an important resource to many across the research, higher education, and PreK–12 sectors. Educational researchers in the field of com-munity schools, leadership studies, and school–community collaborations will all find utility in these chapters. In addition, this book offers help to teacher educators via a chapter by Ferrara and Gómez on the role of student teachers in community schools, and it also provides a text that their students—preservice teachers—can read to understand the multifaceted roles of schools in meeting not only student but also family needs. Finally, practitioners in community schools or leaders in districts hoping to adopt this model will find this book to be an invaluable resource to better understand the many parts of a successful community school. Overall, this volume reminds us of the essential work of not only teachers and school leaders, but also of coordinators, school boards, social services case workers, and families in the work of schools that create stu-dent success by attending to the whole child, not simply the child within the walls of the school
