After working within a Title I public school, April Brown acknowledged that the learning process relies heavily on building community in the classroom. With thirty-seven fourth grade students, more than half were English Language Learners, Ms. Brown knew that her students needed more.
During a meeting one day with her principal, he asked her what she needed to better serve her students. She replied that she needed two classroom assistants to work in small groups with students or float around the room to help answer student questions. She realized that like the adage, "it takes a village to raise a child," it also takes one to educate a child. Of course, the principal replied that the school couldn't afford to do that - but he agreed that classroom assistants would be beneficial.
This is when she developed the Community Connection program incorporating community into classroom to support public education and educators.
