Collaborative Leadership
Meet our Site-Based Community School Collaboratives (SBCSC)
These members collaborate to determine the best strategies and/or program activities to implement in order to build a supportive environment that facilitates strong relationships. The SBCSC also monitors and reviews the school site's implementation plan to ensure fidelity and progress yearly.

Implementation of Site Based Community School Collaboratives
Key Factors: Exploring resources for full implementation of community school systems and data collection.
Context: Key community school educational partners will be involved in site-based decision-making procedures:

What Do Effective Community Schools Require?
Must implement all four pillars: integrating them into the core life of the school.
Maintain a rich academic focus: education leaders and policymakers should focus on the goal of creating school conditions, practices, and relationships that characterize high-performing schools, as well as on reducing out-of-school barriers to teaching and learning.
Capitalize on local assets: community schools use the assets of the entire community, including the gifts and talents of people who live and work there parents, families, residents, educators, school staff, and community partners—to create the optimal learning conditions for each student.
Provide sufficient depth and time: Students benefit most from attending community schools that offer in-depth and sustained services and opportunities and that have been allowed sufficient time to mature in terms of program implementation.
Create a strong, supportive system: for community schools to thrive and succeed, from pre-k to high school and beyond, with increased funding, resources, and capacity-building.
Use data for continuous program evaluation and improvement: adapt to changing school and community context for stronger implementation.
Collaborate for clear goals: educators, partners, community, and families agree on desired results and progress indicators.
