Center of Excellence
Goals and Activities: Goal 3 - Activity 1
Activity
1: School-Parent-Community (SPC) Liaison & National Network
of
Partnership Schools Project
National
Network of Partnership Schools Project
Research has
proven that all children are more successful in school when their
families and their communities are supportive of and involved in
the work of the schools. The Center of Excellence will begin a partnership
with the National
Network of Partnership Schools of Johns Hopkins University beginning
in Fall 2005 to assist Partner Districts
in more effectively developing strong and positive connections between
schools, parents, and community partners.
Introduced during
a visit to Francis Marion University by Dr.
Joyce Epstein, principle researcher with the National Network,
this collaborative project will enable COE Partner
Districts to join the National Network and to be trained in
their research-driven strategies. Although the work of the National
Network has been continuing for more than 10 years, it is based
upon a school improvement council model and will meet requirements
set forth by No
Child Left Behind legislation. Partner
Districts that choose to participate will have access to services
of the National Network through the FMU COE. Formal announcements
of these activities will be released by mid-August.
