The Holding Schools Accountable Toolkit is a collection of instruments, materials, stories, tips, and references from pioneering community-based efforts to hold schools accountable. Transforming institutions requires hands-on work, and this is certainly the case when working to improve schools. This toolkit offers assistance to community leaders who want to involve neighborhoods and families in efforts to create better schools and increase academic outcomes for children.
Developed as a resources for communities involved in the Annie E. Casey Foundations’s Making Connections Initiative, the toolkit should also be useful to other community-based schools reformers nationwide.
