EXPANDED LEARNING TIME AND OPPORTUNITIES

     

    Expanded learning time and opportunities creates the conditions ripe for encouraging students/ academic growth.  Students are privy to extended learning time, individualized support and high-quality instructional resources.  In addition to these benefits, students also reap the benefits of a belief that they can learn and a commitment on the part of the learning community to continuously seek out ways to improve their craft.  Learning is not just relegated to the school day.  Both the school and the community demonstrate a willingness to seek out ways to provide additional access to learning opportunities. These opportunities at times appear in the form of camps, internships, and service-learning opportunities.  The end goal of these opportunities is to drive educational equity and close the achievement gap.

Integrated Student Supports

This particular pillar relies heavily upon community partnerships as the supports that students need may be beyond the school's scope of resources.  Coordinating these supports can be a daunting task.  To ease the burden, some community schools have enlisted the support of wraparound service providers to serve as connectors for families and service or resource providers.

  Community Schools serve as the hub of the community.  They are a vehicle used to meet the academic and nonacademic needs of students, their families, and the community. Community schools have shown themselves to be a dynamic tool to address the issues and problems facing individual communities (Learning Policy Institute, 2017). Initial community schools model included four pillars of support.  Those pillars address expanded learning time and opportunities, collaborative leadership and practice, integrated student supports, and active family and community engagement. These pillars foster educational environments that further students’ holistic development.  Community schools are also said to be an equalizer when it comes to improving academic outcomes for students in impoverished communities.                                                  ...

Community Schools Reimagined

Image
      Community schools have shown themselves to be powerful tools in the plight to equalize the educational landscape and ultimately close the achievement gap.  There are countless case studies that speak to the benefits reaped by students, families, teachers, schools, and communities.  While the initial findings are promising, there is still a need to codify the specific community school practices that yield the greatest academic gains.  Does more emphasis on improving the families financial standing lead to greater gains, should families be afforded more input into curricular decisions, or better yet what engagement strategies are most effective in enlisting parental support?  While much is known there is still room for more exploration on how community schools can serve as a vehicle for equalizing educational outcomes.
