Abstract	The Community School Standards are designed to engage and support the community schools movement as a standards-driven, evidence-based strategy to promote equity and educational excellence for each and every child, and an approach that strengthens families and community. The standards have three objectives: (1) To help new community schools more effectively develop and implement their community school plans; (2) To assist existing community schools to strengthen the quality of their practice and document outcomes; and (3) To provide a consistent language and framework for advocacy, technical assistance, research, funding, and policy efforts. The community school strategy makes explicit that in order to significantly improve the academic and developmental outcomes of children, schools and community partners--e.g. families, community and faith-based organizations, local government, institutes of higher learning, public agencies, law enforcement, United Ways and others--must work together to ensure that all students have an equitable opportunity to succeed in school. While the rationale behind a comprehensive approach to student-centered learning is simple, actual implementation requires a transformational shift in the way that public schools function, and in the way that community partners interact with public schools. It also demands change in all of the adults working with children and youth. Each community school develops along a continuum. And each community school operates differently than another one across town or across the country. However, we know that there are similarities across community schools that have successfully implemented their strategy in how they are structured, what types of programs they offer, and how they operate. These standards are designed to help community schools determine for themselves to what extent and how well they are implementing the various components of being a community school. The Coalition for Community Schools has designed this self-assessment so that community schools can reflect about their development, assess progress, and plot a course for continuous improvement.
