The Community School Standards are designed to engage and support the community schools movement as a standards-driven, evidence-based strategy to promote equity and educational excellence for each and every child, and an approach that strengthens families and community. The standards have three objectives: (1) to help new community schools more effectively develop and implement their community school plans; (2) to assist existing community schools to strengthen the quality of their practice and document outcomes; and (3) to provide a consistent language and framework for advocacy, technical assistance, research, funding, and policy efforts. The standards include two parts. Part 1 covers the structures and functions of a community school. Part 2 addresses the core program elements that occur in community schools. A glossary of terms can be found after Part 2. Each standard is organized into three levels: the standard, related elements, and indicators of performance. Each standard addresses the broad category of community schools implementation. The elements within each standard reflect specific features of high level implementation. The indicators serve primarily as examples of how a community school practitioner and partners might demonstrate the elements along an implementation continuum of a comprehensive and coherent community school strategy.
