Partnerships and Community Organizing begins from the premise that schools alone are not going to solve the educational crises facing urban students, whether at the K12 level or settings such as community colleges. Building from the Organizations and Institutions course, this course examines how best to build partnerships with families, communities and other institutions to improve outcomes for urban students. What partnership models have demonstrated success in the past? What strategies have demonstrated success in involving students’ families? This course examines partnerships at the level of the school and the school district.
