• Students will identify and research one (1) public school within their chosen community
• Research should include:
• Demographic information: name, location, grades, # of students, # of
teachers, # of classrooms, overall building information i.e. (age of school, playground?, gym?, cafeteria?….) racial/ethnic makeup of students AND staff, leadership structure, services for
children with special needs, extracurricular programming, supportive services and/or
enrichment programs, collaborations/partnerships with other schools and/or community
based organizations, schedule of a “typical” day, family engagement resources, professional development.
• Students will post research of their public school and overall assessment of the school in relation
to family/community engagement on Blackboard.
• MUST gather photos of the school, bulletins, schedules… to be added to
the final presentation.
• Think that you are providing a “snapshot” of the public school to a person who is not familiar with
the community or the public school.
