SUMMARY:Building Strong School-to-Community Partnerships to Support Student-Centered Learning
DESCRIPTION:Strong family-school-community partnerships are critical when transitioning to student-centered learning. The relationship between the school and the community can strengthen\, support\, and transform the learning process for students. Through the Future Ready Schools®(FRS) framework\, specifically the community partnerships gear\, schools and districts are encouraged to create formal and informal connections with families\, local businesses\, and organizations to advance the development of their student-centered learning initiative. It is important for schools to embrace their role as a pivotal component of the community and develop a shared vision with all stakeholders\, including partners that operate outside of the school walls. During this time when student learning is remote\, these relationships are even more important as students often do not have the same resources at home as they do when in school. Now is the time to revive community partnerships to play a more active role in the education of students. \nIn this webinar\, our guests Dr. Anthony Jackson and Michael Abensour will share two perspectives on creating and participating in school-to-community partnerships for student-centered learning\, specifically as they relate to providing greater access to learning resources. From developing interest to sustaining relationships\, these leaders will describe what it takes to generate buy-in from educators and the community to work toward a mutual goal. \nGuests will discuss the following topics: \n\nthe importance of school-to-community partnerships;\nthe role of community organizations in addressing digital equity;\nintegrated student services and learning environments outside of school;\ngenerating buy-in among local nonprofit organizations and businesses; and\ncreating sustainable relationships with families and communities.\n\nGuests\n\nAnthony Jackson\, EdD\, Superintendent\, Vance County Schools (NC)\nMichael Abensour\, Executive Director\, Kramden Institute (@Kramden)\nAvril Smart Goggans\, PhD\, Research and Engagement Manager for Future Ready Schools®\, Alliance for Excellent Education (moderator) (@DrAvrilSmart)\n\nThis webinar is a great opportunity to learn from the expertise of leaders who successfully navigate their roles to support partnerships with schools and families.
