This article describes the general characteristics and qualities essential to a community school. The community school, if it exists as a descriptive term, must consist of concepts in the minds of people. In other words, the community school is what people think it is. The membership of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development was thought to be the group of theorists and practitioners most actively engaged in planning the school programs of America. In such a case, the school takes the lead in building genuine community from the fragmented society about it. The school acts as a catalyst to bring about community planning. The school takes the lead in supplementing, coordinating and improving educational projects of other community agencies. The activities and concerns of the school constantly revolve around community affairs. The pupils are given an opportunity to plan and work cooperatively with adults on projects of direct service to the community. The school makes an effort to meet the educational needs of every person in the community. The criteria selected are far-reaching in their practical applications. They would call for new emphasis in most school endeavors. The curriculum of the community school would be made quite different if it really sought to meet the criterion of revolving around community concerns and affairs. |
