Community Schools Research Agenda Introduction & Background  \nThe Institute for Educational Leadership’s (IEL’s) Coalition for Community Schools Research Practice Network (CCS RPN) is composed of community school researchers and practitioners who together create, maintain, and execute a research agenda focused on improving implementation and outcomes for students, community schools, families, and community members. The Research Practice Network also serves as a clearinghouse for research and best practices, convenes community school stakeholders around areas for collaboration and joint research, and identifies new funding streams to support high-quality research on community schools.  \nIn collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania’s Netter Center for Community Partnerships, IEL’s Coalition for Community Schools Research Practice Network hosted a three-day virtual convening in July to develop a national Community Schools Research Agenda. The convening-“Powerful Learning: How Community Schools Support Learning and Thriving Students, Families, and Communities” -took place from Tuesday, July 21 to Thursday July 23, 2020. The three-day event brought together over 60 multi-disciplinary researchers and practitioners who have contributed to the community schools knowledge base.  \nThe event began with a welcome from Dr. Ira Harkavy, Director of the Netter Center, and José Muñoz, Director of the Coalition for Community Schools at IEL. Opening panels on the first two days included leaders in the field who illustrated the potential of research-practice partnershipsand highlighted priorities for community schools research. A final presentation on the third day of the convening by Dr. David E. Kirkland, Executive Director of the New York University’s Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools, presented a bold community-driven vision for community schools.  \nOn each day, participants spent time in facilitated break-out groups co-creating a national research agenda for community schools. On the first day, participants were invited to review a  \nsummary document that presented the recommendations of prior national research convenings from the past two decades held in Chicago, Baltimore, and Toronto. Participants also reviewed a set of “pre-work” guiding questions and responses compiled prior to the convening. Then, the group brainstormed topics, questions, processes, and methods to prioritize as we seek to grow and support the community schools movement. On the second day, participants returned to their break-out groups to “tune” the Research Agenda, expanding on ideas and filling in gaps. Finally, on the third day, participants considered how to enact the Research Agenda and articulated their individual role in advancing the work.  \nResearch Agenda Validation Process  \nTo validate the Community Schools Research Agenda, IEL and the Netter Center for Community Partnerships conducted an iterative feedback process, involving both July 2020 Convening participants and the broader CCS RPN group. As a first step, all convening participants were sent the revised Research Agenda, which organized agenda items into 11 themes. Participants were asked to complete a survey offering feedback on whether the agenda resonated with them and if they noticed any gaps or suggested any edits. We received 46 responses in this initial round of feedback. Following this step, we held a one-hour follow-up meeting on November 5, 2020 with the July 2020 Convening participants; about 40 participants attended. In this session, we presented the revised agenda, discussed revisions incorporating feedback received, and held breakout groups to discuss how to effectively enact the agenda.  \nAs the final validation step, we held a one-hour webinar on November 12, 2020 to present the penultimate Research Agenda to the entire Research Practice Network; about 100 participants attended.
