This book presents an intensive, detailed process for holding accountable all of the players involved in establishing community-connected learning as a whole-school reform strategy: schools, business and community partners, postsecondary partners, and school districts. It describes the experiences of the Boston, Massachusetts, and North Clackamas, Oregon, school systems in implementing and evaluating community-connected learning. Benchmarks for Successwas produced by JFF in collaboration with the Education Alliance/Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory at Brown University.
