The Community Engagement Project for LDR 525 is a culmination of the content knowledge gained as a result of the candidate’s participation in this course. It demonstrates the candidate’s ability to collect, synthesize and apply knowledge about the school, the district, and the community demographics and to present the data in such a way that it can be incorporated as part of the school and/or district improvement planning process.
The candidate completes a two part assignment that will 1) describe the school’s community and how it relates to the district community; 2) analyze the data collected in the description; 3) provide needs analysis for the school and community that can be applied to a school improvement action to better meet the needs of each student including EL’s, at risk early childhood students, and students with disabilities; 4) consider what district resources and supports might be used to meets the needs identified in the analysis 5) establish a community engagement project including a process that describes how you would establish, implement, sustain and evaluate the project.
