Abstract

This closing chapter is about community schools from both local and national perspectives. This chapter adheres to the Penn Concepts that the most important work of Universities is the solving of social problems, and that universities should deal with the universal problems of local communities. The concept of community schools based on Kronick's model of systems theory, collaboration, and prevention is presented. The importance of theory and practice is discussed using the Chicago School of Sociology as an exemplar of the contributions of George Herbert Mead, Charles Horton Cooley, William I. Thomas, Everett Hughes, and Erving Goffman. These scholars opened the doors to engaged research and set a path that Kronick has followed since 1971.
