Schaps, Battistich, & Solomon, 1997 in Snaps Creating a School Community

http://www.ascd.org/publications/educational-leadership/mar03/vol60/num06/Creating-a-School-Community.aspx

Unfortunately, schools with a strong sense of community are fairlyrare. In fact, most schools that survey students' perceptions of

community wind up with mediocre mean scores. Of further concernis the fact that low-income students and students of color usuallyreport a lower level of community in school than do affluent or whitestudents. Many schools appear to be ill-equipped to providecommunity for the students who may need it most.

Brown, R. (2001). The Process of Community Building in a Distance Learning Classes

Getting to know each other. Finding out where people lived, what

they did, their experiences, whether or not they had families and the

like was the X factor. Participants generally agreed that this should

have been a first step in community-building, but usually it was not

part of the formal coursework.
