“This anthology skillfully and comprehensively captures the history, conceptual underpinnings, strategies, structures, and outcomes of the Community Partnership Schools™ model.” —Abe Fernandez, Director of the National Center for Community Schools at Children’s Aid, USA “A valuable guide for anyone looking to develop a Community Partnership School™ model. The detail case study and wider reflections on the lessons learned through the process provide practical information which will be of great use to those wanting to develop their practice.” — Suzanne Sarjeant, Community Schools Advisor, UK This book examines community partnership schools in the USA. Authored by academics and practitioners, it provides an overview of how community schools work in practice, provides a historical context of the model, and demonstrates the importance of the university-community connection in their effective running. Above all, the book showcases how community partnership schools are educational equity solutions that provide support services to underserved students, families, and communities. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, public policy, public health, and education, as well as practitioners. Jarrad D.

"In this book - the first work published on the subject - Blake Gumprecht identifies the distinguishing features of college towns, explains why they have developed as they have in the United States, and examines in depth various characteristics that make them unusual. In eight thematic chapters, he explores some of the most interesting aspects of college towns - their distinctive residential and commercial districts, their unconventional political cultures, their status as bohemian islands, their emergence as high-tech centers, and more. Each of these chapters focuses on a single college town as an example, while providing additional evidence from other towns." "Lively, richly detailed, and profusely illustrated with original maps and photographs as well as historical images, this is an important book that firmly establishes the college town as an integral component of the American experience."--Jacket.
