This collaborative approach ensures a seamless, efficient use of community resources and coordinated efforts to increase the likelihood of school success, high school graduation and college and career readiness and is a cost-effective approach for improving student outcomes. The Communities In Schools service delivery model focuses on attendance, behavior, academics and parent engagement along with social-emotional development at all school-age levels. Effective, evidence-and research-based best-practice student interventions are matched appropriately to each child, delivered at each level Pre-K through Grade 12, and evolve or are modified as students needs change. Students are referred to Communities In Schools by principals, school staff, social workers, community agencies, parents, and Communities In Schools Site Coordinators based upon known risk factors associated with low performance or disengagement. Students are assessed and an Individual Student Plan is developed for each child based upon not only the needs and associated risk factors for a student, but also based on the students strengths, potential, and unique characteristics to nurture.
