WHAT IS SOLID FOUNDATION?
Solid Foundation® is a school-based, team process that helps: |
|
- strengthen family-school connections,
- engage parents in children's learning, and
- improve student academic and social learning.
Working with an External Partner (trained coach from the district, state, PIRC, or community group) the school adopts one of three Solid Foundation® paths described below.
With Solid Foundation, the connection between parents and their children's learning is not left to chance. |

| PATH 2: SCHOOL COMMUNITY INDEX |
“The most essential outcome of Solid Foundation is to create or regenerate school ownership as a partnership between the role players in the school and the home.”
John Cunningham, Title 1 Director
The School Community Index adds to Path 1 a powerful tool for a more thorough self-assessment by surveying parents, teachers (and students in high schools). The survey not only obtains the input of parents and teachers (and students in high schools), but gathers important information about parents’ involvement with the school and engagement with their children at home. |

The 90-page School Community Index provides information compiled from surveys, school information, and analysis of key documents. The Index is a tool designed to help the school learn more about itself, not to make comparisons with other schools.
The Index report helps a school team examine their data, draw conclusions, set priorities, and develop an action plan. The External Partner and school team receive 12 copies of the report complete with charts and graphs.
The School Community Index report provides rich data for making decisions and verifying progress.
