22. What Does Research Say About Interagency Collaboration? Schools, agencies, and communities can take the first steps toward improvingoutcomes for the washington, DC education and Human Services Consortium. http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/stw_esys/8agcycol.htm

What Does Research Say About Interagency Collaboration? C. Bruner, L.G. Kunesh, and R.A. Knuth NCREL, Oak Brook, 1992 Poverty, unemployment, inadequate housing, poor health care and nutrition, substance abuse, inadequate education and training, teen pregnancy, and violence are challenges hundreds of thousands of our youngsters and their families face every day. It is no wonder that children bring more than educational needs into the classroom, that women bring more than employment needs into the welfare office, that teens bring more than health concerns into the health clinic, and that families with infants and toddlers bring more than a need for parenting skills into a family support center. It is an examination of these realities-by administrators, policymakers, teachers, and other frontline practitioners-that has resulted in a new wave of state and local initiatives to provide more comprehensive and integrated services to children and families. These initiatives are based upon the recognition that, from the perspective of children and families, the current system of services is too often fragmented and difficult to access. Families find our systems are contradictory, restricting, and disempowering. In short, they simply fail to meet the real needs of children and families. This section illustrates the nature and magnitude of the problem and presents a vision of its solution through interagency collaboration. This story is told through the following areas:
