Collaborative Leadership and Practice
NYC community schools are grounded in shared leadership and collaborative planning among school administrators, the lead CBO, and other key stakeholders. Community schools build a culture of professional learning, collective trust, and shared responsibility. Each community school has a community school director from the lead CBO who coordinates and integrates services, programs, partnerships, and supports for students and families.
Lead community-based organization (CBO): The Leadership Program
- Community School Director (CSD): Jazmine Dugall ([email protected])
- Develop and coordinate community partnerships
- Integrate and align the work of existing and new community partners to the overall goals of the school
- Ensure the personalization of services and programming to meet individual students' needs
The principal, School Leadership Team (SLT), and the lead CBO develop a collaborative leadership structure (such as a Community School Team) that meaningfully includes the voices of students, families, and other community members in planning and carrying out the vision of the community school.
