Community schools place an emphasis on building collective efficacy and developing a communal political voice that works toward justice for everyone in the neighborhood. Notable examples of community schools that are also full-service schools are Geoffrey Canada's Harlem Children's Zone schools in New York City. Geoffrey Canada's programs use a "cradle to college" approach to improve students' academic outcomes. Briefly explain how this program increases students' academics.
What will be an ideal response?
Canada's method in regard to starting education as early as possible, extending the school day, and offering tutoring for at-risk students seems to produce positive results. Studies that compare students who participated in Canada's program to students who were not selected or who did not participate in the program show higher test scores and lower rates of teen pregnancy and juvenile delinquency among those students in Harlem Children's Zone who participated in the programs (Dobbie & Fryer, 2011, 2015).
