520 |a This paper describes key elements and strategies of a system whereby communities can provide more effective support and service systems. It is intended as an overall framework for improving children's educational outcomes by helping prepare all children for successful participation in school, strengthening family capacities to support their children's educational progress, and ensuring the effective function of community services. The framework is intended to serve all families rather than just those in need of particular services. The paper provides guidelines for the following issues: (1) shifting to outcome accountability, and the process of selecting and using outcome measures; (2) developing effective services and supports; (3) building a stable financial base for services; (4) forming the collaborative community governance; and (5) implementing cross system staff development and training. The conclusion section of the paper notes that the real measure of progress for communities is whether trends change in the direction of the desired outcomes in the long term, but that it is also important to establish shorter term goals that can help communities know if they are on the way toward long-term outcomes. Figures relating to the framework are appended. (AP)
