Community-connected learning in community schools: Why it is essential for whole-school transformation
Subscribe to the center for universal education bulletin, stacey campo and stacey campo community schools consultant - national center for community schools @staceycampo13 hayin kimner hayin kimner nonresident fellow - global economy and development , center for universal education @hayin.
August 8, 2023
In January 2023, the Community Schools Forward Task Force introduced a national consensus framework along with supporting resources to develop a common understanding of community schools and articulate essential implementation practices. The framework reflects the evolution of community school development, in particular highlighting the shift from a predominantly “wrap-around” services model to a whole-school, whole-community approach to teaching and learning that reflects the science of learning and development and explicitly includes rigorous, engaging, community-connected classroom instruction.
What is community-connected classroom instruction and what does it look like in a community school?
Community schools are a place-based strategy ; the school acts as a hub for students, educators, families, community-based partners, local leaders, and other key stakeholders. These schools provide an ideal environment for “community-connected learning.” Activities are designed so students can practice skills in their real-world contexts; build upon those skills; and see their communities, identities, cultures, language, interests, and experiences as valued assets to their learning.
Community-connected learning cultivates more porous boundaries between classroom and community, and often explores social identity, equity, language, and culture. It can be learner-centered—the student identifies the direction of the work—or teacher-centered—the curriculum and partnerships are initiated by the teacher. Perhaps most importantly, community-connected teaching and learning is rigorous and relevant to the lives of students.
Best practices for community-connected learning include:
1. Inquiry-based pedagogy that prioritizes youth voices
Students develop questions and answer them through critical examination and reflection. For example, the Netter Center’s Moelis Access initiative brings together University of Pennsylvania students with students in Philadelphia’s K-12 schools for community-based, science lessons with an emphasis on problem-solving.
2. Experiential learning that promotes collaborative skills
Learning is experience-based, applied, and enables opportunities for students to work together and/or with external partners. During the RadioActive internship with a local radio station in Seattle, high school students are trained in radio production while simultaneously helping the station to center youth voices. And at Minneapolis’s South High , students learn about education by working with neighboring third graders while the district builds a pipeline for future teachers.
3. Partnerships with local organizations
Lessons are co-created by either the teacher and the organization and/or the students and the organization. In East Los Angeles, Farmdale Elementary students develop a garden in partnership with a local café and explore environmental activism.
4. Learning outside of the school campus and within the community
The city or town becomes the classroom and learning occurs in a local park, business, or museum. In rural Berea, Kentucky, community schools partner with the local library to develop a “storybook trail” that celebrates new books and cultivates community.
5. Affirming and sustaining students’ and families’ knowledge and expertise
Students share the wealth of knowledge and experience gained from their families’ lives and work with teachers to build lesson plans based on this content. For instance, students and families in Aurora, Colorado , share stories of immigrating to the United States, which are exhibited at the local history museum. And in Cuba, New Mexico, community school students are hired by the University of New Mexico and the University of Colorado Boulder to share and research local culture and language.
6. Equity-focused content and topics
Learners are encouraged to consider their role and responsibility within their community. At the UCLA Mann School in Los Angeles , the student steering committee uses youth participatory action research strategies to collect data on students’ classroom experiences to improve their school. And across the country at Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School in New York City’s South Bronx community, students explore the mathematics of gerrymandering in their borough.
What is needed to strengthen community-connected teaching and learning?
Community-connected learning starts with building trust in the classroom, where teachers learn about their students and cultivate connections with and between their students. Teachers understand their students’ assets and gifts, develop a deeper understanding of community inequities, and cultivate the skills to deconstruct these inequities with their students.
In the same way collaboration and leadership are essential ingredients for community-connected learning, so are dedicated time and resources for professional learning . Schools must develop professional learning opportunities that teach educators youth participatory action research , restorative practices , and critical consciousness , couched in an understanding of the community school strategy and a whole-child approach to education. Once properly trained, teachers require agency, sufficient planning time, and instructional coaching to design and facilitate these learning experiences.
Like all facets of a community school, community-connected learning can’t happen without intentional systems and a supportive infrastructure —such as reliable funding and staffing—to meet desired outcomes . For example, community schools are staffed by a coordinator—hired by the district or a lead community partner—who is tasked with “managing partnerships.” Historically, this has meant bringing in resources like eyeglasses, tutoring, extended day programming, mental health services, or access to other services so students are ready to learn. However, working with school leadership, teachers, expanded learning providers, and families, the coordinator can also play an integral role in making connections that support community-connected learning by fostering learning partnerships with local universities, arts organizations, museums, businesses, and more.
Why is community-connected learning important to community schools?
Community-connected learning must be central to how and why we educate. It is more than a different approach to teaching; it is the most effective way to teach. The science of learning and development tells us that learning happens best when students are engaged in meaningful and relevant work . As one of the key practices of a thriving community school, community-connected learning creates a crucial intersection between students’ lives and experience, real-world opportunities, and academic rigor.

After protests, UC Berkeley pledges to expand antisemitism education to all new students
- Copy Link URL Copied!
UC Berkeley will expand antisemitism education to all incoming students beginning this fall, after pro-Palestinian protests over the Israel-Hamas war fueled anxieties among many Jewish campus members, Chancellor Carol Christ announced this week.
For the first time, the campus will provide a five-year funding commitment to widen the educational effort, which began on a much smaller scale in 2019, to all new students, leaders of official student organizations and residential assistants. Berkeley also will strengthen the Center for Jewish Studies with a new designation that will allow it to have its own endowed chairs and faculty members and launch faculty searches. A new Israel Studies minor, which has been in the works for years, will begin this fall.
The new programs will aim to counter the “deeply disturbing” rise in antisemitism at Berkeley and elsewhere since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in southern Israel, Christ said in a letter to members of her advisory committee on Jewish student life and campus climate.
“I understand and acknowledge that many members of our Jewish community felt deeply disturbed, even unsafe, due to the presence and persistence of expression that was reasonably perceived to be antisemitic,” Christ wrote. “You can be confident that there is no complacency among campus leadership on these issues.”
Berkeley has been rocked by accusations that it fails to safeguard Jewish students and combat antisemitism, which campus officials deny. The U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office and a House committee are investigating the campus response to such allegations. Jewish groups also have sued the university for what their lawsuit called the “longstanding, unchecked spread of anti-Semitism” — an accusation Berkeley Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky called “stunningly inaccurate.”
A divide over the Israel-Hamas war flares at UC Berkeley Law
A Wall Street Journal op-ed by professor Steven Davidoff Solomon recommended against hiring students who ‘support discriminatory bylaws or other acts and resolutions blaming Jews and Israelis for the Hamas massacre.’
Nov. 3, 2023
Christ has drawn criticism from some Jewish community members after signing an agreement in May with pro-Palestinian protesters to dismantle their encampment on Sproul Plaza. In exchange, she said she would support a review of campus investments to make sure they align with Berkeley’s values upholding equality, human rights and abhorrence of war. Christ also pledged a review of complaints about global exchange and internship programs for any discrimination against Palestinians and others.
Some Jewish critics believed the agreement gave protesters unjustified concessions without consequences for violating campus bans on overnight camping and other rules. Others feared that the reviews of campus foundation and endowment holdings, along with global exchange programs, would open the door to boycotts, divestment or sanctions targeting Israel, said Ethan Katz, a Berkeley faculty member who chairs the advisory committee and directs the Jewish studies center.
But Christ, in her letter, clarified that the commitments with protesters confirmed existing campus policies around human rights and discrimination and did not target Israel.
“I have repeatedly expressed my opposition to any UC-wide, campus or Foundation policy that would boycott, divest from or impose sanctions upon Israel,” she wrote.
UC Berkeley insider known for questioning the status quo is named new chancellor
Rich Lyons, former Berkeley business school dean and now chief innovation and entrepreneurship officer, will lead one of the nation’s top public universities.
April 10, 2024
Katz said Christ has worked hard to listen to Jewish community concerns and respond to them since the Oct. 7 attack — and particularly after the encampment went up in April . Although the encampment was largely free of violence, he said, the protest slogans and signs demonizing Israel and Zionism at times spilled into antisemitism and created fear and anxiety among many Jewish campus members, he said.
“That really made the environment feel very hostile to a lot of students,” Katz said.
But Katz said he never called for the encampment to be removed and shared Christ’s desire to avoid the violent encounters with police that occurred at UCLA, Columbia and the University of Texas at Austin. He also said he opposed efforts to “weaponize” accusations of antisemitism to silence all pro-Palestinian speech or promote other political agendas.
Jewish campus members at UC Berkeley quashed a move to bring in pro-Israel outsiders to stage a counterdemonstration, fearing that could lead to the kind of melee that roiled UCLA .
Katz called Christ’s letter “reassuring” in reiterating the university’s position against divestment from or boycott of Israel, and in favor of robust academic exchanges and support for Israel studies programs.
But he said Jewish community members remain concerned about what may unfold once students return to classes in the fall and whether protesters who violate campus regulations will be held accountable. Katz said he hoped to see the campus strike a middle ground between mass arrests and no consequences.
Christ, in her letter, said the campus is reviewing its regulations around protests.

The Chicago Teachers Union, led by Stacy Davis Gates, is not publicly saying how much money it will devote to support the union’s endorsed candidates for CPS’ elected school board.

CTU endorses slate of candidates for Chicago’s first elected school board
Just days after the candidate filing period ended, the ctu is out with 11 endorsed candidates for 10 seats, including parents, educators, faith leaders and community organizers..
The Chicago Teachers Union is announcing its endorsements for Chicago’s first elected school board — a major step for the powerful political force that helped to elect the city’s mayor.
The CTU is not publicly saying how much they will devote to support these candidates and, so far, none of the candidates have reported contributions from CTU to the Illinois Board of Elections. In addition to money, the CTU has about 30,000 members who have been key in knocking on doors and getting out the vote.
The endorsements come less than a week after the deadline to file petitions to get on the ballot. Forty-seven people are running to represent 10 geographic districts, which cover several neighborhoods. Challenges to petitions must be filed by July 1. Election day is November 5, with voters casting ballots in the district where they live.
The CTU endorsed one candidate in nine districts and two in district six where a former teacher and a leader from a parent advocacy group both got the nod. Among the group, several are former teachers, some are activists and at least one describes herself as a full-time mom.
Despite the candidate filing period just ending, CTU President Stacy Davis Gates said the union’s process for choosing who to endorse was more robust than usual. The union’s protocol is that a committee vets candidates and then brings recommendations to the union’s full House of Delegates, who are the representatives elected by members.
Gates said she is enthusiastic about the election and the candidates, many of whom are former teachers and parents.
“Here in Chicago, Black people, brown people, working class people who send their children to the Chicago public schools get an opportunity to engage in actual debate about school policy,” she said. “I, for sure, was skeptical more than once that this would ever happen and I’m just very proud of it honestly, that people get to do this.”
Gates noted the union’s Political Action Committee does not have much money on hand. At last reporting on March 31, it only had $42,000, but most members opt to give monthly to the PAC, paying a fee above their dues.
The union is criticizing the Illinois Network of Charter Schools, which is expected to play a role in the school board election. INCS had about $2 million as of March and earlier this month got $1 million from James Franks, the Winnetka-based CEO of Wheels.com.
In its press release, the CTU sharply criticizes INCS’ big bank account and the influence it might have in the election. “Despite their long history of demanding policies that increased racial inequity at CPS and denied parents a voice, these organizations now want to buy their way into influencing the election and running our schools,” according to the CTU press release.
INCS fired back. In a statement, officials said INCS’ PAC has a “very clear goal — to support candidates who embrace a student-centered vision for what education can be in Chicago.” INCS officials said parents are making informed choices where to send their children to school and “we intend to defend that right.”
INCS President Andrew Broy said the organization will only make endorsements after candidates fill out questionnaires and are interviewed. The organization is also waiting for the ballot to be finalized after petition challenges. However, INCS has already provided some in-kind support to a few candidates.
Some of CTU’s endorsements are no surprise. Political organizer Aaron “Jitu” Brown has long stood arm in arm with the CTU. He said they worked together “opposing the purging of Black teachers from CPS and racist mass closing, while pushing the scam called ‘school choice.’”
Among their most high profile collaborations — which briefly included now-Mayor Brandon Johnson — was a hunger strike in 2015 that successfully halted the closing of Dyett High School.
Brown said he was “honored and humbled” to get the endorsement, noting that other progressive groups, such as the Network for Public Education, are also backing him.
Other endorsed candidates include a dean at suburban school district who sends her children to CPS, a band director at Back of the Yards College Preparatory IB and a community organizer at One Northside, a Rogers Park-based organization.

Navigation menuMore From Forbes10 education questions for the biden-trump debate.
Tonight, President Biden and former President Trump will face off in the first of two scheduled presidential debates. This debate is atypical in all sorts of ways: It’s happening in June rather than after Labor Day, it’ll take place without an audience, and it’s the first presidential rematch since 1956. All of this will produce some unusual dynamics. For all that, though, the substance of the debate will come down to the business of answering questions and sketching a vision for voters. After four years in which education has loomed large in the national discourse—from school closures to school masking to school choice to Critical Race Theory to student loan forgiveness to campus protests—it’d be good to hear them speak to some of these issues.  After four years in which education has loomed large in the national discourse—from school closures ... [+] to school masking to school choice to Critical Race Theory to student loan forgiveness to campus protests—it’d be good to hear them speak to some of these issues. In no particular order, here are ten questions I’d love to hear Trump and Biden address. 1) Public confidence in the value of a college degree has plunged to historic lows, with only 36% of adults saying they have “quite a lot” or a “great deal” of confidence in American higher education. Why do you think that’s happened and what, if anything, can Washington do about it? 2) Since the pandemic, chronic absenteeism has skyrocketed in K-12 schooling. Last year, across the nation, more than a quarter of students missed four or more weeks of school. How concerned are you about this situation, and what should schools, parents, and public officials do to address it? 3) In light of research that’s raised significant concerns about the effects of smartphones and social media on youth well-being, mental health, and academic performance, there’s a growing push to ban smartphones in schools. What do you think of those efforts and what response, if any, is called for on the part of the federal government? Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024. 4) New research by scholars at the American Institutes for Research, Harvard University, and Stanford University suggests that the $190 billion in emergency pandemic aid for schools had a very modest positive effect. The researchers estimate that $1,000 in aid per pupil, or about 7 percent of what America’s schools spent on each student last year, raised math scores by about 3 percent and had no effect on reading achievement. Is this a satisfactory rate of return for taxpayers? If not, what would it take to do better? 5) President Trump, you’ve repeatedly said that you would bar federal funds from going to schools or colleges that require vaccinations. Do you mean to say that would ban schools from such efforts even when it comes to combating smallpox or measles? Can you explain what grants a president the legal authority to impose such a requirement and how you’d enforce it? 6) President Biden, you’ve pursued a sweeping student loan forgiveness strategy that analysts at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School have estimated will transfer more than half a trillion dollars of debt from borrowers to taxpayers. Two questions: First, if the goal is to aid those in need, why include graduate borrowers who’ve used public funds to pursue pricey, lucrative degrees? Second, the dollars in question would be enough to triple the Pell Grant program for low-income college students for decades. Can you explain why forgiving loans to borrowers, many of whom earn $100,000 or more a year, is a better use of those funds? 7) Over the past four years, states have legislated an historic expansion of school choice—primarily by adopting and expanding voucher programs and education savings accounts. President Trump, when in office, your administration pushed to promote private educational choice. Meanwhile, President Biden, you have expressed opposition to voucher programs and your administration has sought to reduce federal support for charter schooling. Can you explain your thoughts regarding the promise and the risks of educational choice, and what role you’d like to see Washington play in all this? 8) President Trump, you’ve called for abolishing the U.S. Department of Education. Can you explain what that would entail? Does that mean that you’d like to end federal aid for students with special needs, schools serving low-income students, and Pell Grants for low-income college-goers? 9) President Biden, when you ran for president in 2020, you said that you were spurred to run by the ugliness of the white supremacist, anti-Semitic conflagration that transpired at the University of Virginia in 2017. Over the past year, of course, scores of college campuses have seen encampments, occupations, anti-Semitic rallies, and documented acts of anti-Semitic violence by anti-Israel protesters. Do you find this ongoing activity as troubling as you did the events in Charlottesville? Why or why not? 10) If you had to point to a school or college that you think is getting it right today, what would it be? And what would it take to provide that kind of schooling to many more youth? Anyway, those are my ten, though it wouldn’t be any great trick to supersize that list.

One of the things that visitors to Lyubertsy should be aware of is the tendency of drivers to drive fast and recklessly on the city's roads. Pedestrians are advised to be particularly cautious when crossing roads, even at designated crossings, and to be aware of their surroundings at all times. Overall, Lyubertsy is a safe and welcoming city, with a rich history and culture.
