Schools aren’t islands
unto themselves; they are integral parts of a community. Their
success depends on the support they receive from - and ownership
that is felt by - parents, students, businesses, civic organizations,
and political leaders. We work deep in the community to champion
high expectations, empower parents, and teach community-based
organizations how to become effective partners in the educational
enterprise.

From
its earliest days as the America 2000 Coalition, an advocacy
project designed to get businesses and community groups to
embrace the National Education Goals and to identify and implement
best practices, StandardsWork has endeavored to engage the
community in effective school reform efforts. Our best selling
book, Raising the Standard: An Eight Step Action Guide
for Schools and Communities, is a blueprint for individuals
and organizations and is as powerful a tool today as it was
six years ago when it was written. We champion these strategies
today through our Parent Power Works project.
