Mitigating COVID-19 Impact: Implementing Community School Framework in Rural Schools

Over the two year period, REI will engage in a research-practice partnership with ECPPS to closely examine the Community School framework in rural settings, intentionally plan implementation of the framework in selected school, and engage in evaluative activities to determine impact of initial implementation on the critical outcomes of student learning, school engagement, and community involvement. REI will use a mixed-methods evaluation design to study the implementation, outputs, and outcomes of the Community School initiative in a rural setting. The overarching research question is:? In what ways and to what extent does the Community School Framework in a rural context impact student learning, school engagement, and community involvement post-pandemic??
