Describe the process you will use to bring together the resources of family members and
the community to positively affect student learning.
It is expected that bringing together the resources of family members and the
community will significantly impact student learning at JRB Academy.
The first step I will
use to bring together the resources of family members and the community is through the
creation of an open and inclusive environment. An open and inclusive environment will be
created through regular communication and engagement with families and the community
which will be done in open forums, sending regular newsletters, and through the school’s
website.
I will bring together family resources by establishing a parent-teacher association
(PTA), and this group will serve as a forum for communication and collaboration between
families and the school. I will ensure family involvement in the educational process. Regular
meetings will be held for parents to discuss their children’s progress and provide feedback to
teachers. Additionally, parents will be invited to participate in school events such as field trips
and science fairs. Such participation will not only help to build a sense of community but also
provide families with an opportunity to see their children's work in a different context.
The community will also be brought in to support student learning. Local businesses
and organizations can be contacted to provide resources and support for the school. For
example, a local library can provide books and other materials, while a local business can
fund school projects. Additionally, community members will be invited to speak to students
about their careers and other topics of interest. These resources will be brought in through
volunteer programs. Families and community members can volunteer their time and expertise
to support student learning.
With these steps in place, I believe that student learning will be positively impacted.
Various resources that will be utilized to support student learning include f

Describe how you will involve families in the education of their children based on the
belief that families have the best interests of the children in mind
.
There are many ways I will ensure the involvement of families in their children's
education. I will encourage regular communication between teachers and families through
parent-teacher conferences and regular progress reports. Families will be invited to
participate in school events such as open houses, parent-teacher association meetings, and
other community-building activities. Also, there will be volunteer opportunities for families
in the school, like chaperoning field trips or helping with school projects. The environment at
JRB Academy will be welcoming and inclusive, and hopefully, it will encourage families to
participate actively in their child's education. Finally, resources and support for families will
be provided to help them understand the curriculum and how they can support their child's
learning at home.
Describe how you will involve families and other stakeholders in school decision-making
processes, reflecting an understanding that schools are an integral part of the larger
community.
One way already discussed above of ensuring the involvement of families and other
stakeholders in school decision-making is through forming a parent-teacher association
(PTA). This group will be a forum for communication and collaboration between families,

teachers, and other school staff. The PTA will also provide input on important school
decisions such as curriculum development and budget allocation. Families and other
stakeholders will be involved in the educational process by holding regular meetings to
discuss important issues and provide feedback to teachers and school staff. Families and other
stakeholders will also be invited to participate in school events such as field trips and science
fairs. As expected, this will allow them to see their children's work in a different context.
Through the recognition of the critical role families and other stakeholders play in schools
and providing opportunities for active participation, I will ensure that all students at JRB
Academy have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Describe how you will capitalize on the diversity (cultural, ethnic, racial, economic, and
special interest groups) of the school community to improve school programs and meet all
students' diverse needs.
Capitalizing on the diversity of JRB Academy’s community will significantly improve
the school programs and meet the diverse needs of all students. One way this will be done is
by implementing culturally responsive teaching practices. This approach will recognize and
value all students' cultural backgrounds and incorporate their experiences and perspectives
into the curriculum. It will be made possible by incorporating diverse texts, guest speakers,
and real-world examples into the classroom and creating a safe and inclusive learning
environment where all students will feel valued and respected.
Another way JRB Academy will capitalize on diversity is by forming diverse student
groups and clubs. These groups will provide a sense of belonging and community for
students from specific cultural, ethnic, racial, or economic backgrounds. They will also serve
as a platform where students will share their unique perspectives and experiences. School-
wide diversity committees comprised of staff, students, and community members will gather
5
input and feedback on diversity-related issues, provide a platform for discussing and
addressing concerns, and plan and implement diversity-related initiatives.
Describe how you will demonstrate an understanding of and ability to use community
resources, including youth services, to support student achievement, solve school problems,
and achieve school goals
.
One way to do this is by building relationships with community organizations and
agencies that provide youth services. A committee will identify organizations that align with
the JRB Academy’s mission and goals and reach out to them to establish partnerships and
collaborations. These organizations are expected to provide a wide range of services to
support student achievements, such as academic support, mentoring, and enrichment
programs.
Another way is incorporating community-based learning and service-learning
opportunities into the curriculum. Community-based learning involves students engaging in
real-world projects and activities connected to their academic subjects and addressing
community issues. Service learning is a type of experiential education involving students
participating in activities that address real-world problems while learning educational
content. Finally, professional development opportunities will be provided for staff on how to
use community resources and partnerships to support student achievement effectively. Here,
they will get training on identifying and connecting with community organizations,
incorporating community-based learning into the curriculum, and effectively communicating
and collaborating with community partners.
