As summer kicks off, we are thrilled to release a report that represents a five-year research-practice partnership on the power of self-assessment. We are also excited to share news of the Next Generation Coalition of Community Schools as well as two presentations on our work to advance research, teaching, and service.

This month, we celebrate UCLA’s Centennial, our principals, and the launch of the UCLA Immigrant Family Legal Clinic. And as the school year wraps up next week, we are looking forward to another summer of extended learning and enrichment for our students. We highlight one program below, featured this month in Variety magazine.

This month, we highlight how our community schools support UCLA student learning–as teaching artists and as educational researchers. We are also excited to share one of the many community partnerships that inspire our students to dream big!

We are excited to share news of our Second Annual Convening as well as other partnership highlights this month.

We started the new year with an historic strike that inspired productive debate and support for public education. This month, we share news about the strike and a new initiative to support our alumni’s persistence through college.

We are thankful for the many partnerships that support student learning and well-being in community schools. Here are three highlights that celebrate the joy of the season, the power of art to bring people together, and the role of caring adults and mentors in the lives of young people.

This month’s activities remind us that our community is global and that our students are active and critical participants in the world. We celebrate the collective work of powerful community schools to create a future that is just, equitable, and humane.
