School Action Team

Purpose of School Action Team
The district has adopted the School Action Teams for Partnership model to replace School Review. The model was developed by Johns Hopkins' researcher, Dr. Joyce Epstein, who has identified six types of involvement that make school-family-community partnerships successful:

1. Supporting the whole child through academic achievement and social emotional learning;

2. Effective family advocacy, communication, and engagement

3. Ensuring a welcoming school environment

4. Offering volunteer opportunities for family and community engagement

5. Educating families to support learning at home; and 6. Collaborating with Montclair Community Partners
