Community Collaboration
Schools do not exist in isolation. They require the assistance of an entire community to bridge gaps and to develop a process for educating and supporting youth. Community collaboration is an effective approach to make a difference in the learning experiences of students. It can increase student retention, improve grades, increase students’ feeling of worth, just to name a few. As a leader in education, your engagement in community collaboration is not only important, it is critical. Think about how you would engage members of a community to work for the betterment of students.
