community
Mastery of fundamental
academic concepts
Increased ability for logical
thought processes
Increased social involvement

(Mah & Ford-Jones, 2012)

The interactions between
school, family, and community
are important and influential in
promoting optimal
development. A supportive
partnership between family and
school, as well as community
involvement can foster
resilience, reduce adversity, and
promote the development of
critical social skills and
meaningful relationships (Berk,
2013).
