Recenzii
“For educators, parents and community activists who recognize that schools can’t address the needs of students without support, this book will be a tremendous asset and an invaluable resource. Throughout the book, Emily Woods provides us with insights into how to devise a strategy to create and sustain community schools. Filled with quotes and stories from people who have led this work, the book is practical, insightful, and most of all, inspirational. “
Pedro A. Noguera, Distinguished Professor of Education, USC Rossier School of Education, USA.
“Community schools are a strategy for all schools. Making Community Schools a Reality will serve an anchor for principals ready to expand their leadership and make their schools a holistic center for students, families and communities. While the pages of this book speak directly to principals, teachers and community school practitioners, anyone in education would benefit from the best-practices and wisdom presented.”
Amy Ellis, Director of the Center for Community Schools, University of Central Florida, USA.
“Making Community Schools a Reality serves as both a practical guide and a call to action for educators, policymakers, and community leaders, offering a blueprint for creating schools that address the non-traditional needs of students and families. Woods reinforces the idea that education is not only about what happens in the classroom, but how schools can drive long-term, transformative change through collaboration, fostering stronger, healthier communities.”
Richard M. Gordon IV, Assistant Superintendent, School District of Philadelphia, USA.
“Finally, a resource that combines principals’ wisdom with evidence-based strategies to successfully implement and lead community schools. In this book, Woods takes the reader through a series of steps needed to create conditions that address school/community readiness, foster collaboration, and develop an infrastructure to support the community school strategy. Unlike other books in the field, Making Community Schools a Reality: Harnessing the Power of School Leaders anticipates the challenges faced by principals and delivers concrete solutions to navigate their community school journey.”
JoAnne Ferrara, Professor Emerita, Manhattanville University, USA.
“Emily Woods has written a useful and valuable book that will help the range of community schools advocates and practitioners to better comprehend the significance of the work for children, families, communities, and society.”
Ira Harkavy, Founding Director of the Netter Center for Community Partnerships, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
“The growing literature on community schools as a preferred education reform strategy offers many strengths but also suffers from at least one major gap: the all-important role of the principal in community school implementation. Emily Woods has courageously and respectfully stepped into this breach, bringing her incisive analytical skills and strong policy orientation…”
