Something new is happening in California's public schools. They're called Community Schools. One of the foundations of Community Schools is shared decision-making. Where parents and families, students and educators, make decisions as ONE. Community Schools lift the voices of folks that have traditionally been underserved. Many of our classes are designed around our own students' cultures, their background, their personal experiences. We bring culturally relevant curriculum to the classroom based on what their specific needs are. Improving student achievement and innovative classes like cybersecurity and gardening. And we assist families with their needs. Some schools have parent education programs, cooking and nutrition classes…everything from medical or dental services to immigration law services. This is a one-stop shop that serves the needs of not just the students, but their families as well. They're California's Community Schools. Reimagining public education. Paid for by the California Teachers Association.

Algo nuevo está pasando en las escuelas públicas de California. Se llaman escuelas comunitarias. Donde los padres, las familias, los estudiantes, los educadores y sus comunidades toman las decisiones en conjunto. Las escuelas comunitarias dan voz a personas tradicionalmente desatendidas. Con clases diseñadas según la cultura de los alumnos y sus necesidades específicas de aprendizaje. Tienen un curriculo integral - todo diseñado para mejorar el rendimiento de los alumnos.Y las escuelas comunitarias hasta ofrecen asistencia a las familias: Con Centros de bienestar y asesoramiento...servicios legales de inmigración... y despensas de alimentos. Las escuelas comunitarias son una solución integral que sirve no sólo a los estudiantes, sino también a sus familias. Son las escuelas comunitarias de California. Reimaginando la educación pública.
