This article is based on a 2014 study of Drewsland, an inner–city community in Kingston, Jamaica. It includes an investigation of how the Asset–Based Community Development and Appreciative Inquiry approaches may be applied to identify the assets of the Drewsland community, empower the residents, and guide the community transformation process through collaboration and partnership between these assets. The study concluded that since educational transformation is a subset of community transformation, community transformation in Drewsland is possible through collaboration among a community and leadership network including the school, community–based organizations, government entities, the church, and the business community.
