EXPANDED LEARNING THROUGH SCHOOL-COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Expanding Learning through School-Community Partnerships in New York State: Findings and Recommendations of the Statewide Learning Community  is based on the findings of a year and a half of meetings of a statewide learning community of education and expanded learning experts. Recommendations for effective planning and implementation of school-community partnerships, such as community schools, school-based afterschool and summer programs, expanded learning time, and education-focused collective impact, are based on what the learning community heard from principals, superintendents, program directors, researchers, and other experts about the needs and opportunities in the field.
