1. What are the best practices of

the school that link to the
community?
Teacher has two communities:

 The Teaching Community/Classroom

 The Community outside the school

To function well in the classroom and in the

community, t h e t e a c h e r must be equipped
with competencies.
 Knowledge
 Skills
 Attitudes
SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

good forces that can create a good environment for mutual
benefit and improvement. School is between in the community
and the community as well takes care of the school.
