Self-study Surveys
Includes a discussion of comprehensive, integrated approaches for addressing barriers to learning followed by a set of surveys covering six program areas and the leadership and coordination systems every school must evolve to enable learning effectively. Areas covered are (1) classroom-focused enabling, (2) crisis assistance and prevention, (3) support for transitions, (4) home involvement in schooling, (5) student and family assistance programs and services, and (6) community outreach for involvement and support (including volunteers). In addition, there is a survey of mechanisms for leadership and coordination of enabling activity, and a survey of School-Community Partnerships.
