NEW! CPI is pleased to announce the release of a new Community Schools documentary video. A community school can be the heart of a community, uniting diverse and engaged stakeholders in support of the whole child.
More than 15 years ago, the Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD) embarked on a journey to re-imagine education for the middle and high school students it serves. Children are not just taught academics, but learn in environments that make them feel safe, valued, engaged, challenged, healthy and connected. Because they reflect unique community needs, no two community schools are alike. The Community Schools model can be a highly effective option for parents seeking school choice.
NEW! The State of California has passed a law establishing Ethnic Studies as a high school graduation requirement. What are the issues surrounding this mandate and its rollout in all California public schools including charter schools? The Contemporary Policy Institute’s Andy Thorburn examines the issue with Professor of African American Studies Natalie Graham, Ph.D. and you are invited to view the discussion. Click here to see the CPI “Perspectives on California Ethnic Studies” video in its entirety. The clip below is a brief excerpt from the 27-minute video.
