Prince George’s County Six Pillars of Community Schools
Prince George's County Community Schools:
A community school is a community hub — both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. Its integrated focus on academics, health and social services, youth and community development and community engagement leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities. Community schools offer a personalized curriculum that emphasizes real-world learning and community problem-solving. Schools become centers of the community and are open to everyone — all day, every day, evenings and weekends.

Educator Tips and Tools
- Review, Reflection, Repeat and Refine is a process educators may employ toward development of skills and instructional delivery.
- Do not forget to ‘take five’ and focus on where you are and where you want to be.
- Remember, it has been said the more we share the more we have; so did you share an education resource this week or planning to share this coming week?
- Professional Learning Communities at work across grade levels or departments can break isolation and build a skills network and perhaps comradery as well.
"All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence"
- Denis Waitley
