Specifikacia The Six Priorities: How to Find the Resources Your School Community Needs Torres Luis Eladio
In this provocative and timely book, Luis Eladio Torres challenges a common assumption: that education is the first priority for families, including those who are raising their children in low-income, high-need communities. Instead, he argues that these families must confront daunting challenges in five other areas--food, shelter, safety, health, and access to technology--before they can focus on their children's education.To make his case, Torres draws on his experience as the award-winning principal of an elementary school in the Bronx and as a leader in New York City's community schools network. A community school focuses on educating the whole child, supporting families, and extending its reach into the larger community--both by tapping into resources the community can offer and by providing a range of social and health services to that community.The
