CURRICULUM WORK
We've worked with many teachers and schools, collecting and sharing community-based teaching strategies—many of which are represented on this Web site, and in our print publications.

ORGANIZATIONAL WORK
We've provided support to educational initiatives such as Vermont's Rural Partnership (VRP), and Education for Sustainability, vital members of their state's educational landscape.

WEB DEVELOPMENT
To support their dissemination needs we developed the Rural Partnership's Web site, and have incorporated their work in print publications.

PRINT PUBLICATIONS
Our print publications are now in use by teachers and schools in more than 30 states and outside the US.
VIDEO
Video documentation can be especially useful for internal reflection and program evaluation as well as for the external sharing of innovative programs.

Recently, we worked with a nationally recognized community newspaper— produced by middle school students—to produce a video documenting their efforts.
We Can Help You TELL YOUR STORY
Through
Documentation and Program Evaluation

Community Works and its associates have documented and shared the community-based work of students, teachers, schools and educational organizations since 1994, both in print and on-line via our Web site.

Our goal is to help you share your stories and strategies with other educators. We provide a voice, platform and audience for sharing innovative teaching and learning strategies rooted in the community.

Participants, funders and other stakeholders will appreciate
a powerful and coherent record of your accomplishment!
