The Education Organizing Indicators Framework: A User's Guide. Strong Neighborhoods, Strong Schools. The Indicators Project on Education Organizing.
Gold, Eva; Simon, Elaine; Brown, Chris
This publication is intended to help foundation program officers, educators, and organizers use the Education Organizing Indicators Framework to understand the contribution that community organizing makes to school reform. The Framework is the product of a study that examined five community groups to document how organized groups of parents and community members, acting collectively, could bring about significant change in public education at the school, community, district, and state levels. Part 1, "Community Organizing and How It Contributes to School Reform," discusses the indicator areas, the theory of change, and the value added of community organizing for school reform. Part 2, "Understanding Stories of Community Organizing for School Reform," discusses a fight for land for new small autonomous schools in one city, successes in the Small Schools Campaign, and applying the framework and theory of change to stories of education organizing. Part 3, "How to Use the Education Organizing Indicators Framework," discusses how the framework can be useful to different audiences, what it looks like, making sense of variation among groups, and cautions in using the framework. Part 4 presents "The Education Organizing Indicators Framework." (SM)
