This document provides a literature review on data collection and analysis at community schools. It discusses that community schools aim to address academic, health, social, and emotional outcomes both short and long-term. Common data collection methods identified include using existing data systems, surveys, and focus groups. Short-term indicators commonly measured include attendance, family engagement, and partnerships. Long-term indicators include academic achievement, health, employment, and crime rates. The most comprehensive data analysis framework suggested involves developing a logic model and collecting and analyzing data to answer evaluation questions.

Making Quality Education Accessible in Pakistan: A Social Accountability Appr...Muhammad Sohaib
The project titled “Making Quality Education Accessible in Pakistan -- A Social Accountability Perspective” was designed to promote the idea of participatory school governance. The project, in its targeted areas, advocated for people’s right to free
education, and the importance of education, especially the girls’ education. It also trained communities, revived School Management Committees (SMCs), and formed accountability committees. The idea behind these interventions was to bring communities closer to co-own, co-design, and co-create a learning-friendly environment in the schools.
Under the project, public schoolteachers and district education officials were trained on ‘intraadministrative accountability’. This was done to make teachers realize their rights & responsibilities, and how to deal with intra-administrative conflicts. The project encouraged the community and local leaders to play their role in improving enrolments and lowering dropouts. The project also sought the community members to serve as accountability committee members so as to monitor the working of schools and teachers’ absenteeism.

Introduction
Across the United States, school districts and State
education agencies (SEAs) have turned their attention
to the chronically lowest performing schools and drop
out factories, investing resources and implementing
a wide range of strategies in an effort to dramatically
improve student achievement . In many States, the
focus on “turnaround schools” has been spurred by
investments from the Federal School Improvement
Grant (SIG) program, changes to State accountability
systems and State initiatives to turn around low-
performing schools through Race to the Top and other
Federal programs . Many school districts also have
undertaken turnaround as a core reform strategy .1
This report examines one key strategy for making
school turnaround more effective: community
engagement . The purpose of community engagement
is to ensure that school improvement is done with
the community, not to the community . It recognizes
how integral schools are to their communities, and
how much parents a.
The Oakland Achieves Partnership brings together community organizations with a deep commitment to public education to share expertise and resources to remove barriers to school success, expand educational opportunities, and help all learners to excel from their earliest years through adulthood.
In this second annual report on student progress in Oakland, we examine how well public education outcomes match the great potential of our children. Click here to download the report.
The report reviews a full range of data on Oakland student outcomes from cradle to career. Wherever possible, it includes data from district-operated schools and charter schools. We have added several new indicators since last year, including kindergarten readiness and Financial Aid Form completion.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
