SUPPORTING COMMUNITY ORGANIZING ON EDUCATION ISSUES
Community organizing is a vital strategy for improving education. Because community organizing engages students and their families, mobilizes constituencies that are deeply and continuously invested in educational success, and is explicitly about building power and citizen ownership, it offers an avenue for sustained educational change. “Supporting the Education Organizing Movement: An Exchange Between Intermediaries” by Rosanna Bayon Moore and Susan Sandler has been recently released by Justice Matters Institute. This report documents a gathering in June 2003 of organizations that provide various types of support to community organizing efforts to improve schools. The report captures the themes that emerged from this discussion of challenges, questions, and opportunities for those working to support and enhance the impact of education organizing.
