Appropriate and effective
collaboration and teaming are seen as
key factors to community
development, learning and family self-
sufficiency.
Greater interaction between schools
and communities can enhance
educational outcomes. It also builds
the role of schools as contributors to
the vitality of their local community.
Using “real world” examples drawn
from the community can strengthen the
school curriculum, and the involvement of
students in the community can enhance
their broader knowledge and confidence.
Vibrant communities depend on the next generation
having the values and skills to be active citizens and
schools benefit society as a whole fostering these
values in students. Having experience with
communities as part of their school curriculum can
help students become more effective citizens as young
people and as future contributors to society.
In primary schools the aim is to have appropriate
interaction between the school and community to
leave students with values of citizenship and more
basic integration into the curriculum. In secondary
schools, more direct community involvement and
applied studies can be undertaken. *
Building such partnerships requires
visioning, strategic planning, creative
leadership and new multifaceted roles
for professionals who work in schools
and communities. *
