内容説明
How can we partner with our communities to improve school programs and increase students' success?
This current era of high stakes testing, accountability, and shrinking educational budgets demands that schools seek bold and innovative ways to build strong learning environments for all students. Community involvement is a powerful tool in generating resources that are essential for educational excellence.
Building School-Community Partnerships: Collaboration for Student Success emphasizes the importance of community involvement for effective school functioning, student support and well-being, and community health and development. This sharp, insightful book serves as an excellent resource for educators seeking to establish school-community partnerships to achieve goals for their schools and the students, families, and communities they serve. Schools can collaborate with a wide variety of community partners to obtain the resources they need to achieve important goals for students' learning. Some of these partners may include:
Businesses and corporations
Universities and other institutions of higher learning
National and local volunteer organizations
Social service agencies and health partners
Faith-based organizations and institutions
Work successfully with community partners to improve school programs and curricula, strengthen families, and expand your students' learning experiences!
