Doris Duke Fellow Tova Neugut Writes CNN Opinion Piece on Fathers Serving in the Military

CNN has published an opinion piece by Doris Duke Cohort One Fellow Tova Neugut about the challenges that face fathers serving in the military. She discussed the need to support military fathers who face a number of challenges at home and during deployment, particularly during the period of reintegration after service members return from duty.

traumaMaking Community an Authentic Part of School and Community Partnerships  

 

With the idea that schools in low-income urban areas require stronger communities to improve educational outcomes, this discussion paper examines questions related to the authentic engagement of communities in school and community partnerships. It presents three key ideas for considering authentic engagement: place-based policy, community-based versus institution-based partnerships, and community capacity. It discusses grant guidelines as expressions of policy to foster partnerships and the ways three particular grant programs encourage (or not) authentic engagement of communities.

strongSchool Engagement Among Parents of Middle School Youth

Most researchers, policymakers, and educators believe that children do better in school when their parents are involved in their education. However, there is no gold standard for how to engage parents. Consequently, schools often employ a broad range of "parent involvement" efforts, with little clear evidence about what works best and for whom. This issue brief uses data from Chapin Hall's evaluation of the Elev8 full-service schools initiative as an illustrative case study to reflect on the efficacy of different parent engagement approaches during the middle school years.
