Consejo de la comunidad escolars are forums for exchanging ideas about how to improve student achievement among the escuela’s stakeholders—principals, teachers, escuela staff, parents, students and community members. They help craft the escuela’s Academic Plan and Financial Plan, which establish the goals and programs for the escuela.
Acerca de
Consejo de la comunidad escolars (SCC) play a vital role in Hawaiʻi’s education system. They are part of the leadership structure at each escuela and enable shared decision-making among principals, teachers, escuela staff, parents, students and community members to improve student achievement. SCCs are:
- A group of people elected by their peers to advise the principal on matters that affect student achievement and escuela improvement. Their primary role is to participate in the process that ensures that the needs of all students are addressed in the escuela’s Academic Plan.
- Forums for open discussion and problem-solving related to student achievement. Research suggests that the collaborative process contributes to improved escuela culture, classroom practices and student learning, and the development of a strong professional community of educators.
- A means to involve the community in the discussion of educational issues and help escuelas identify and respond to the educational needs of the community.
