This "Patterns of Practice: Case Studies of Early Childhood Education & Family Engagement in Community Schools" report updates the community school case studies through a description of ongoing developments in Cincinnati, OH; Evansville, IN; Multnomah County, OR; and Tulsa, OK and adds to that knowledge base of early learning and family practices in community schools through the additional case studies of early childhood education and family engagement efforts in Albuquerque, NM; Hartford, CT; Palm Beach County, FL; Providence, RI; and Los Angeles, CA. As national efforts to scale up quality early childhood education programming expand, community schools have enhanced their early learning initiatives to provide deeper and more interconnected programming reflective of evidence-based practices. While family support and engagement has always been a core standard of practice in community schools, there is now renewed consensus that family engagement needs to be transformative through an emphasis on shared responsibility and leadership for children's success among families and educators. Such a transformational approach is needed to ensure that low-income families and families of color have educational opportunity and are able to meet goals for children and to overcome gaps in equity in the educational system. Building upon the core lessons from initial case studied of early learning in community schools, this report on patterns of practice adds additional lessons on family engagement that enable deeper understanding. This report discusses those core lessons and how community schools are using similar approaches to expanding early childhood and family engagement efforts.
