Community Conversations
The "Community Conversations" program was developed by
Public Agenda.
This major initiative of Public Agenda is a system to help engage the
community in its schools, building the kind of involvement that supports
increased student achievement. Kansas Learning First Alliance has a cadre of trained
facilitators that can assist a school community in putting Community
Conversations to work as a part of the school improvement process.
