Overview

Collaboration is messy, complex work. For many, it can feel like wandering through an unknown wilderness, with an uncertain destination. Fortunately, research on effective collaboration can provide effective guidance. The Community Learning Model Rubric is a tool that coalitions and networks can use to understand their collaboration and demystify the process of working together toward a goal. It is intended for groups to assess where they are in their collaborative work and identify where they would like to focus their time and attention. Each section of the rubric corresponds to a different element of the Community Learning Model, which is then broken down into the key components that make up that element. 

This toolkit explains how to use the rubric. You’ll also need to download the rubric in English, Spanish, Somali, and/or French.
