35 Phillip. M. Stokoe Elementary School possibilities Led by the Early Childhood Education faculty, Norco College is interested in exploring reinvigorating Phillip. M. Stokoe Elementary School as an innovative, model teaching demonstration site. History • The Stokoe Innovative Learning Center site was initially designed and constructed in collaboration by the Riverside Community College District (RCCD) and Alvord Unified School District (AUSD) leveraging RCCD’s Measure C bond and non-bond revenue • Norco College ECE faculty partnered with Stokoe in 2011 and 2012 for our Practicum class (EAR-30) • The Center temporarily closed in 2013 • Norco College students currently complete their supervised field experience (108 hours) at Temple Beth El (Riverside) and Head Start (Ontario) • Through Assembly Member Sabrina Cervantes, the Norco College Early Childhood Education (ECE) discipline was awarded $5 million in 2018 to expand Early Childhood Education services within the 60th Assembly District. 36 Stokoe Learning Center possibilities In alignment with both our missions and our deep commitments to equity and community service, RCCD would like to begin dialogs and collaborations with Alvord Unified School District, Norco College, Riverside County Office of Education, Head Start, Assembly Member Sabrina Cervantes, all collective bargaining groups, site administrators, and members of the community.

Such a partnership will ultimately: • Be a model teaching demonstration site for the region and State of California • Explore the wide range of programming opportunities for which this site was originally intended. • Increase the pool of local teachers for AUSD and neighboring districts to hire from • Provide Norco College students the opportunity to have access to a local lab school environment •Facilitate a long-term potential partnership with UCR to increase pipeline of elementary teachers

37 RCCD & AUSD: Continuing a Successful Partnership

. Enhanced data sharing . Expanding CCAP opportunities . Explore fulfilling Stokoe’s potential as a model demonstration school . Continued collaboration and communication
