CCSP has over twelve years of experience in providing
consultation and technical assistance for local, regional, and
statewide groups. Our training workshops and materials are based
on extensive field research and examination of the working
practices in communities throughout California.
CCSP provides direct technical assistance and training in the
areas common to the community-school model; academic enrichment,
collaborative leadership and governance, youth development,
school-based health care, parent leadership development,
field-research, and program evaluation.
Consulting and technical assistance services can take any or all
of several different forms: on-site or over the phone
consultation, on-going communication through e-mail or written
documentation, or small work-group. Technical assistance
typically results in an action plan for your community-school
collaborative and may be augmented with appropriate tools,
presentations, and other working-documents.
The following are CCSP’s 2011-2012 spotlighted workshops descriptions. They can be combined and tailored to specific organizational needs. For more information and direct contact:

Our base in the School of Education at UC Davis provides us with
significant research and evaluation capabilities. CCSP provides
field research and program evaluation to community-school
partnerships. Using an applied research model, we work closely
with community-school partners to evaluate their work for the
purpose of identifying effective change processes and best
practices in the field. What we learn from the field often
results in the development of useful tools, training materials,
training sessions, and other resources.
CCSP provides electronic bulletin boards and list-servers to
facilitate communication with staff working in community-school
initiatives. Our electronic List Server reaches over 1,000
subscribers, and our searchable directory contains on-line
information on over 1,500 Healthy Start schools. In addition, our
Clearinghouse includes resources in areas of community-school
initiatives, community assessment, collaboration, youth
development, after school, case management, sustainability, and
parent leadership.
