9x5: The HiPlaces Model

From the 9 Dimensions:
Connect Schools with Communities

Students in a high performance learning community are involved with the community at large.  They are given ample opportunities for service learning, volunteering, and internships in local businesses.  Community-based learning opportunities are integrated into the curriculum, and teachers take full advantage of the rich community resources which are available.  Students venture out of the classroom on a regular basis, and members of the community are welcomed in with the same regularity.  The school is used by community organizations which conduct before and after school programs and weekend events.
