Activity 17 – (5 points)

Direction: School and community partnership enhances sense of ownership and

sense of belonging. What do these mean? How will these impact on schools and
communities?
 "The connections between schools and community individuals, organizations, and
businesses that are forged to promote students' social, emotional, physical, and
intellectual development" (Saunders, 2001) are what constitute a school-community
collaboration. These groups can provide cash or their time and services. By mentoring,
tutoring, or just letting a student follow them about, they may donate their time.
Schools are being held accountable for the learning and knowledge of their students.
However, schools cannot do so on their own. This is where the school-community
partnership comes into play. Through these numerous interactions, students are given
the best chances to thrive in school since the community may sometimes contribute
resources that schools cannot afford to provide. Another advantage is that students may
form actual contacts and networks to help them prepare for the "real world." Students
in Communities in Schools, as well as other conventional high schools, have the
opportunity to network with business experts through cooperative education programs.
A CIS student would work during the day and give in his or her work to the teacher.
Partnerships between schools and communities can help children get a better
education today while also assisting schools in meeting federal and state education
requirements. Partnerships can offer both monetary and non-monetary assistance.
Students can obtain access to resources that will help them achieve in school via
Communities in Schools. There are various advantages to partnering between the
community and the institution. In a changing world when instructors are under
increasing pressure to ensure kids meet high standards of excellence, the community
can assist. All we need to do, in my opinion, is ask.
