Beskrivning
Originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, this expanded text provides new insights into the successful, sustained implementation of Full-Service Community Schools (FSCSs) in the United States.Reviewing the Success of Full-Service Community Schools in the US documents the experiences of students, teachers, and communities involved in the establishment and growth of FSCSs. By considering how successful this reform strategy has been in meeting the needs of underserved communities, the text illustrates the potential these schools have to transform students’ learning and outcomes. In particular, the studies illustrate the value these schools have in supporting low-income students and students of color. At the same time, by interrogating the defining pillars of FSCSs – expanded learning opportunities, integrated services, family and community engagement, and collaborative leadership – chapters identify challenges that if left unattended, could limit the transformative potential of this reform strategy.This groundbreaking text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, researchers, academics, professionals, and policy makers in the fields of Educational Change and School Reform, Multicultural Education, Sociology of Education, Education Policy, and School Management and Administration.

Recensioner i media

Editors Sanders and Galindo have long studied school–community partnerships and understand the issues well. Together, they assemble a group of researchers, who have been studying the implementation and impact of community schools for years, that author chapters to help the broader field of practitioners and researchers understand what we know about the various aspects of community schools. […] In addition to expected studies examining student achievement and attendance, the book pushes into less studied areas of community schools such as equity, Black youth, and the role of teachers. Community schools are multidimensional; this book encourages researchers to look at less-examined elements in order to better understand the complete strategy.
