Community schools use a whole child approach so the pressure isn’t solely on teachers to attend to students’ academics, social emotional wellbeing and basic needs.
Empathy and other skills positively impact improvement processes by helping to foster trust, increase engagement across the community and, ultimately, create long-lasting outcomes centered on what really matters.
Hayin Kimner, Lorenna Maysonet, and Rebecca Winthrop argue that to combat the lasting effects of COVID-19 on America's children, it is imperative to implement a reimagined community schools strategy to prevent further education inequality.

Abstract: The idea of simultaneous growth of self-identity and the community has been a long established part of indigenous cultures. This project uses Auntie Puanani Burgess’ Building a Beloved Community as a guide on what a beloved community is and how it can be built. Inspired by cultural leaders, friends, family, and personal life experiences, Burgess shares stories that carry a deeper meaning than what appears on the surface. This style of teaching is based around indigenous oral story-telling which carry the ʻike kupuna, or ancestral knowledge from the generations of communities before now. The relationships within a community are built on trust, empathy, and reliability. To be able to see from a different perspective respectfully and honestly allows strong relationships to be formed and both parties to thrive. Anecdotal stories from people who have participated in Building a Beloved Community share the effect it has had on their personal and professional lives. While the effects of these activities are beneficial, it is important to understand that everyone’s journeys are different and it teaches everyone to be patient and understanding towards other people. At the end of participating in a Building a Beloved Community, people should leave feeling loved and ready to pass it on to strengthen the community evermore.
