The Coalition for Community Schools is hosting a series of webinars for people who want to learn how to scale up community schools using our new online Scaling Up Guide. You will learn how to start a community school initiative, strengthen implementation, and prepare for expansion from presenters currently utilizing these strategies in the field.

The guide includes a collaborative leadership framework and a six-stage process for building a community school system that communities can use regardless of where they start. The guide is interactive with video features, stories from initiatives that have successfully scaled up, and a LinkedIn forum for community school leaders to discuss and share ideas and stories.

Below is a schedule of webinars on how to navigate and use the Scaling Up Guide. (You must click on each to register for that session):
