Sharing their experience helps us answer three questions facing the growing community schools movement: What does it mean to be a community school teacher? How do teachers in community schools promote deeper learning for students? And how does collaborative leadership create sustainable and humane community school workplaces?  \nToo often, community schools are solely portrayed as a reform to provide wraparound services for students without adequate attention to the foundational role that educators play in creating and sustaining these schools. We wrote this article to elevate the often overlooked role of classroom teachers in the community schools movement.  \nUnderstanding the Community Schools Concept  \nCommunity schooling is a concept with broad appeal and a long history dating back to Jane Addams and John Dewey.

The most recent reform wave launched in 1997 with the Harlem Children’s Zone—a comprehensive, place-based anti-poverty initiative that established federally funded Promise Neighborhoods across the United States.  \nSince then, the growth of charter schools and the epidemic of neighborhood school closures have complicated the community schools landscape. For example, in cities such as Los Angeles and Oakland, teachers unions frame community schools as the public alternative to charter schools—poignantly captured in the 2019 Los Angeles strike poster: “Community schools build democracy!”The politics surrounding community schools underscore the need for a research-based foundation to guide the  \ngrowth of this promising reform strategy.  \nEffective community schools are organized around four key pillars: (1) integrated student supports; (2) expanded and enriched learning time and opportunities;  \nPHOTOS BY RUSS CURTIS, BRUCE G ILBERT, AND ARMANDO ARORIZO  \nAMERICAN EDUCATOR | SPRING 2020 35  \nCommunity schooling is a concept with broad appeal and along history dating back to Jane Addams and John Dewey.  \n(3) active family and community engagement; and (4) collaborative leadership and practice.1 These pillars provide a framework that enables community schoolteachers and staff to create opportunities for deeper and engaged learning, rooted in the assets and needs of their particular communities.2  \nTying the four pillars to teaching and learning is foundational, yetitis often overshadowed by the reform mill’s focus on implementing new structures and programs. For example, adding a health clinic or weekend recreation program will not fundamentally transform student learning unless all the adults have a deep appreciation of students’ interests, cultures, and prior experiences.
