“Our Schools, Our Communities, Our Stories”
schools
Since 2023, the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) holds an annual process to award Storytelling Fellows from any corner of the state. These Fellows spend months in hands-on digital training toward becoming super-storytellers. And now, they represent our community-school griots!
Come explore! – for our Fellows bring you their accounts of a journey. In their districts, the community schools strategy is bringing together students, educators, families, caregivers, and local partners.
Community schools are rooted in relationships to the families and neighborhoods they serve. The school embodies their values for developing and educating the whole person.
The students, teachers, and parents are “in it together” to learn...
And in that process, everyone grows.

Interactive map of California
In the middle of the screen, a whimsical illustration of the State of California “floats” above the rest of the page and responds to your cursor. On this map, the boundaries of each county are faintly visible, and the landscape is dotted with miniature mountains, hills, and a range of trees — from pine trees in the North to cacti and palm trees in the south. Two cities can be seen: these are Sacramento and Los Angeles. The interactive map here, serves as a menu system: you can navigate to specific school districts with your mouse or by pressing Tab to move the cursor from county to county. (Only certain counties are clickable at this time.)
