Big Ideas, Real Impact.

Later this year we will share a report from our latest project where we co-designed and co-implemented of a statewide capacity-building system for a community schools state scaling initiative.

Below is a preview of our lessons learned for the field:

  1. Develop Community Schools Coordinators as Adaptive Leaders

  2. Invest in Training, Coaching, and Technical Assistance as Part of a Capacity- Building System

  3. Invest in Peer Learning Structures That Reduce Isolation and Accelerate Learning

  4. Differentiate Technical Assistance and Coaching While Maintaining Strong Alignment

  5. Develop the Entire School and District System, Not Just Community Schools Coordinators
