Community Schools: A Strategy for Student and Family Success
Community schools are public schools that serve as centers of the community, offering a range of services and programs beyond traditional education. These types of public schools are important because they provide a holistic approach to education by addressing not only academic needs but also social, emotional, and physical needs of students. Additionally, community schools typically provide resources such as healthcare, social services, adult education, and after-school programs to support the entire community.During the webinar we will discuss: - What community schools are and how they differ from traditional schools - How community schools benefit students and families - What services and resources are commonly offered through community schools - How community schools enhance community well-being and engagement - How to implement and support community schoolsSpeakers:Sarah Sneed, President and CEO of the NEA Foundation · NEA FoundationAlexandria Warrick Adams, Executive Director · Elev8 Baltimore
