Community Assessment Framework:
Develop Strategies for Improvement
The first step in developing strategies for improvement is to get input from community stakeholders. Explain the baseline data and your overall assessment of Quality Education. With community stakeholders, brainstorm possible strategies that can help the community build on strengths and address gaps and weaknesses.
The second step is to narrow down the strategies by testing each to determine whether it accomplishes the following:
|
•
|
Addresses more than one gap or barrier identified
by the baseline data
|
|
•
|
Contains the potential for strong linkages to
community services or programs
|
|
•
|
Builds the community’s capacity to provide
a quality education for all students
|
The strategies that fit these criteria are more likely to lead to a model for
comprehensive, coordinated school-community partnerships.
