The Community Collaboration Model for School Improvement: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Schools worldwide are developing innovative models in response to, and in anticipation of, societal changes. Aiming to address non-academic barriers to learning, while capitalizing on out-of-school time, some school and community leaders have prioritized family and community partnerships, especially in the United States (U.S.). The Community Collaboration Model (CCM) is one such U.S. partnership-oriented model of expanded school improvement. In contrast to some partnership-oriented models, the CCM prioritizes improvements in classrooms and communities, aiming to support students, assist teachers, and improve relationships beyond the typical school day. This scoping review examines 14 peer-reviewed articles which describe CCM-centered innovations and documented outcomes. Barriers and facilitators associated with CCM adoption and implementation in diverse U.S. school and community settings also are explored. CCM’s contributions to important student and school outcomes (e.g., increased access to mental health services, improved school climate, decreased discipline referrals) are documented in this scoping review. Some researchers have also described implementation-related facilitators (e.g., partnerships with universities) and barriers (e.g., initial resistance by educators) that influence the utility of the model in practice. Drawing on prior research, the authors discuss findings and implications for future research, educational policy, and practice.

Liderazgo del director, desempeño docente y conciencia cultural docente como predictores de la mejora escolar

“…A nivel global, las escuelas están desarrollando enfoques nuevos e innovadores para adaptarse a las transiciones sociales. Un objetivo crucial de las políticas de mejora escolar en el ámbito educativo es facilitar el proceso de aprendizaje y garantizar que todos los estudiantes estén preparados para incorporarse a la fuerza laboral actual (Anderson-Butcher et al, 2022).…”

Lecturer Performance: Implementation of the 3 Milestone Improvement Model in Improving Lecturer Performance

“…The excellent performance of lecturers reflects not only the quality of teaching but also a significant contribution to students' academic and professional development (Sancar et al, 2021;Tatto, 2021;Wijaya & Khoir, 2022). The "3 Milestone Improvement" model offers a systematic and continuous approach to improving lecturer performance through three main stages: initial evaluation, constant training, and final assessment (Nate et al, 2022;Anderson-Butcher et al, 2022;Frank et al, 2024).…”
