The disturbing educational success rates for Aboriginal students in comparison with their peers have been documented for many years. Reducing this persistent achievement gap is one of Canada's most pressing educational challenges. Numerous reports commissioned by federal and provincial governments and Aboriginal authorities have offered detailed examinations of the complex social, economic, linguistic, and cultural interrelationships that contextualize the educational environments of Aboriginal students. Many of their families struggle with the legacy of residential schools that ripped families apart and caused immeasurable damage to the social fabric. Schools serving these communities work within a context that may include poverty, learned helplessness, despair, and high levels of abuse, addictions and violence. For some communities, student suicide rates may exceed graduation rates. Yet despite many extraordinary challenges, some schools are producing tangible progress for their Aboriginal students. This report springs from a study of ten such schools in an effort to identify practices that appear to contribute to their success.

Kelowna, B.C. Society for the Advancement of Excellence in Education, 2008. First Edition, First Printing. Spiral Bound. pp. 164. 4to. measuring 8.5" x 11". Illustrated card covers held with black plastic spiral binding. Black-and-white photographs, maps, charts, tables, illustrations, etc. Bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding; fine. Scarce in commerce. Corresponds to OCLC #732604327. Sections include: 1. Description of study; 2. Manitoba case studies; 3. Alonsa Community School; 4. David Livingstone Community School; 5. Wapanohk Community School; 6. Gordon Denny Community School; 7. Sacred Heart Community School; 8. Stobart Elementary and Stobart Secondary; 9. Discussion of findings; 10. Lessons for practice and policy, et al. The idea of community schools as a means of supporting challenged populations has gained currency in recent years. As the mandate of education expands from provision of traditional academic instruction to recognize the complex needs of children in the 21st Century, the self-contained model of the school becomes increasingly inadequate to meet the needs of students. In addition, the recognition of the importance of parental involvement in children's schooling leads to the corollary recognition that parental wellbeing is an important contributor to student achievement. From there it is a short step to recognize that a healthy community is a healthy learning environment and that community and school collaboration has real potential for improving all aspects of student achievement. Community collaboration may include both involvement with other formal service providers (e.g. healthcare agencies, social service agencies) and involvement with informal groups such as parent coffee gatherings.
