Beskrivning

This book provides a unique examination on the ways in which educating the whole child in the community school serves to ameliorate the conditions of poverty and obstacles to learning faced by students. Using a case study approach the book will highlight the successful journey of one school that transformed itself into a community school. Given the rise in poverty nation-wide and the unprecedented economic crisis, many school districts are looking for innovative ways to garner resources for their schools. The strategies outlined in this book will provide suggestions for using the resources of community partnerships as a framework for school renewal and improvement in student achievement. The authors share their first hand experiences building a community school from the ground up, as well as providing the national perspective on community schools. Acknowledging the power of the "community" school, this book concludes with a “call to action” for the dissemination of this model and its embrace of whole child education.

Recensioner i media

This inspiring book captures not only the power of the community school to address the needs of children and families, but also the power of a school-university partnership within this setting. The deep partnership between the Edison School and Manhattanville College, discussed in this book, serves as a beacon for others seeking to build such partnerships that not only educate children more effectively, but also prepare the next generation of teachers for classroom realities.
