Since 2018 the UCLA Center for Community Schooling has produced a newsletter that shares the work of students, teachers, community members, partners, and researchers committed to Community Schooling.
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.
UCLA’s Fall Quarter started up this week and our two community schools have been in session since August 14th. In this first newsletter of the school year, we share our latest news as well as highlights from the summer. Next month: stay tuned for information on our February 2019 convening.
This is our first newsletter. Please feel free to forward it along!
