School-wide Indicators: Engaged Community and Youth

All facets of the community work together to articulate a shared vision for all high-school-age youth and to establish a network of accountability that ensures progress towards achieving that shared vision.

Early Development

Growth

Sustainability

School vision exists, but is not actively supported by all stakeholders. Community partners and parents have a basic understanding of school goals and performance data. School is beginning to reach out to traditionally marginalized groups. A handful of students sit on school improvement groups. Conversations about accountability have begun.

 

A collaboratively developed vision helps focus school improvement efforts. Community partners and parents have a solid understanding of school goals and know how they can help support student achievement. Many students and community members have meaningful roles in school reform efforts. A school-wide accountability plan has been developed.

•  Students, parents, and community leaders engage with school and district leaders to articulate a shared vision for all high-school-age youth.

•  Parents and civic leaders share community data and concerns with school and district leaders and provide resources and partnerships to support the articulated vision.

•  School and district leaders held accountable for allocating resources and establishing equitable policies that ensure all youth have access to quality resources.

•  School leaders held accountable for communicating data on student outcomes.

•  School works explicitly to build community capacity - particularly within low-income, minority population that have been traditionally marginalized in civic and school affairs - to assume meaningful roles in the school reform process.

•  School organizes and builds students' capacity to exercise leadership and participate in decision-making that affects their school and community.
