Compendium of Research and Evaluation Resources on School-Linked Services and Learning Supports

The California Center for Community-School Partnerships is pleased to present the Compendium of Research and Evaluation Resources on School-Linked Services and Learning Supports in public schools.

Our intent in providing the Compendium is to ensure that a variety of research-based information on school-linked services and learning supports is readily available to school practitioners and service agencies.

We believe that sharing our collective knowledge, best practices and wisdom is crucial to program sustainability. It is our hope that by making this information available we will encourage programs to identify critical areas of inquiry, conduct systematic research, create new conceptual frameworks to guide policy and program development, and develop evaluation frameworks and tools.

Solicitation of additional resources is on on-going. We are interested in papers that report on the findings of research and evaluation endeavors related to the impacts of school-linked services and learning supports in public schools. If you or someone you know has done research or evaluation work with one or more public schools where school-linked services and learning supports have been implemented, we are extending this opportunity to share what you have learned. Please contact Dr. Joanne Bookmyer at jbookmyer@ucdavis.edu for additional information.
