At a Glance
The 8-part Community Schools Improvement Science stack is designed give participants, typically Community School Coordinators, the strongest skills available to implement a best practice version of the Community School strategy at any school. This set of Micro-credentials is specifically made for those who are leading the implementation of the Community School strategy on a school level. Participants will have the ability to ask experts questions during the course and many will have the opportunity to work with other participants during the course. We suggest starting the course at the beginning of your school year and reading through all 8 parts to best understand where the course will be taking you, and then jump into the first MC and do them in order -- each part builds upon the preceding part.
