| FMU Center of Excellence Goals and Activities: Goal 3 - Activity 1
Activity
1: School-Parent-Community (SPC) Liaison & National Network
of
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. Promising Partnership Practices Each year schools, districts, organizations, and state members of NNPS share their success stories in the book Promising Partnership Practices (http://www.csos.jhu.edu/p2000/PPP/index.htm). Published each year since 1998, this collection of books features practices of school, family, and community partnerships that create a welcoming school climate and support student success from preschool through high school. For great ideas on building and strengthening your partnership program, be sure to check out the following partnership practices from Center of Excellence Partner District schools. 2009-2010
