Community School Essentials

Curious about community schools but not quite sure where to start?

Community School Essentials is a free, 30-minute webinar that offers a practical introduction to the foundational concepts, principles, and practices that make community schools such a powerful approach to supporting students, families, and communities.

Whether you're new to community schools, exploring the approach for your school or district, or simply looking for a refresher, this session will help you build a shared understanding of what community schools are–and what they are not. Together, we'll explore the core elements of the community school approach, the conditions that help the work thrive, and why community schools are increasingly being embraced as a strategy for advancing whole-child outcomes.

This webinar is a great first step for educators, school leaders, Community School Coordinators, district staff, and community partners who want to learn more before diving deeper into the work.
