Get Started with Community School Development

So you’re familiar with community schools. You’re interested. But getting started can feel like the hardest part. While your own school/district’s path may ultimately differ from Anaheim Union School District’s, their example can help you begin mapping out where to start.

Facilitating Student Exploration of the Four Keys to College and Career Readiness

If the Center for Disease Control can facetiously use a hypothetical zombie apocalypse to emphasize the importance of emergency preparedness, why not use the same scenario to engage students in conversation around the skills they need for life readiness? The first protocol in this resource introduces the Four Keys to students and can be used to facilitate a general conversation about all of the Keys. The subsequent protocols give students the opportunity to spend more time thinking about the specific skills and learning techniques identified in each Key (THINK, KNOW, ACT, GO).

Rethinking Schoolwide Schedules: Build a School Day That Prioritizes People

An effective master schedule is so much more than making sure the bells ring on time. It not only sets the pace for the school and community, but it can directly impact students’ access to equitable learning, opportunities, and holistic well-being. It also impacts the well-being of your staff as well as their opportunities for meaningful collaboration, preparation, and professional development. An equitable and effective master schedule can lead to a healthier school community overall.
