Up School and Community Partnerships:  \nThe Community Schools Strategy  \n[www.communityschools.org/scalingup](www.communityschools.org/scalingup)  \nShare  \nDiscuss  \nWhy Build a Scaled-Up System of Community Schools?  \nCommunity schools, with their emphasis on intentional partnerships, represent the most effective approach to addressing both the inschool and non-school factors that influence student achievement. The impact of poverty, changing demographics, chronic absence, health and many other factors simply cannot be ignored if students are to succeed. Of course our schools need qualified teachers and strong principals: and like all public institutions, schools must be accountable for performance. But communities must share responsibility for helping young people succeed.  \nCommunity schools are the vehicle for making this happen. They come in all shapes and sizes, yet each one is designed as a center of community—a place and a set of partnerships connecting school, family, and community. Community schools have a vision of students succeeding in school, graduating, and becoming productive parents,  \nWho Should Use this Guide?  \nSchool and community leaders, including parents, teachers, principalsand community partners; school district, civic, business, and government leaders; and funders atthe local, state, and national levels.  \nThis Guide is helpful for anyone engaged in a place-based strategy including community schools, Promise Neighborhoods, Choice Neighborhoods, and other cradle-tocareer efforts.  \nworkers, and citizens. As they work toward this vision, community schools align school and community resources so that the essential conditions for learning are in place.  \nCommunity School Results  \n Students in high-implementing Tulsa community schools outperformed students in noncommunity schools by 32 points in math and by 19 points in reading.  \n Glencliff High School in Nashville has increased its graduation rate-66.4% to 81.2% from 2007- 2008 to 2010-2011.  \n Oyler Community Learning Center, a K-12 school in Cincinnati has moved from Academic Emergency to Academic Watch and is now in Continuous Improvement for the second straight year. The school has improved its Ohio Performance Index by 21.7 points since 2006-2007.  \n Community schools across the nation are seeing results in achievement, attendance, graduation, parental involvement, health, and more.  \n For more results, [visit](visit www.communityschools.org/results)[ www.communityschools.org/results](visit www.communityschools.org/results)  \nThe Conditions for Learning include:  \n• Early childhood development programs nurture growth and development.  \n• The school offers a core instructional program delivered by qualified teachers; instruction is organized around a challenging and engaging curriculum with high standards and expectations for students.  \n• Students are motivated and engaged in learning—in both school and community settings—before, during, and after school and in the summer.  \n• The basic physical, mental, and emotional health needs of young people and their families are recognized and addressed.  \n• Parents, families, and school staff demonstrate mutual respect and engage in effective collaboration.  \n• Community engagement, together with school efforts, promotes a school climate that is safe, supportive, and respectful, and that connects students to a broader learning community.  \nPublic schools cannot create all of these conditions alone. But experience shows that vision-driven, results-based partnerships can. Such partnerships build relationships among schools and other sectors of the community with a vested interest in the well-being of children and families. Local government, United Ways, community-based youth development organizations, business, higher education, public and private health and social service agencies, neighborhood groups, civic and faith-based organizations, families, and residents are all involved.  \nThe Challenge: Gr","cbCaihcymuPpo1es","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihcymuPpo1es","pdf",873284,"English","# Why Build a Scaled-Up System of Community Schools?\n# Who Should Use this Guide?\n# Community School Results\n# The Conditions for Learning\n# The Challenge: Growing Systems of Community Schools\n# What Does it Take to Build a Scaled-Up System of Community Schools?\n## The 6-stage Scale-Up Spiral","[{\"question\":\"Why are community schools presented as an effective approach for student success?\",\"answer\":\"The guide argues that community schools address both in-school and non-school factors influencing achievement, including poverty, demographics, chronic absence, and health, while also emphasizing accountability within public schools.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the guide cite as evidence of community school impact?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights improvements in math and reading performance, graduation rate gains, progress toward higher accountability ratings, and broader trends in achievement, attendance, health, and parental involvement.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the definition of a scaled-up system of community schools?\",\"answer\":\"A scaled-up system is described as a vertical network of schools from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 within a single attendance area, with schools linked horizontally across one or more school districts.\"}]","Scaling Up School and Community Partnerships - The Community Schools Strategy - Guide overview | PDF",1792044156]
