School-Family-Community Partnership Success Stories

The National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University has published Promising Partnership Practices 2009, a collection of more than 110 best practices chosen from schools, districts, and organizations across the country. The activities are used to improve reading, math, science, attendance, and multicultural understanding, and to create a family-friendly school environment.

"This year's collection is especially strong," said Joyce Epstein, director of NNPS. "The innovative, goal-oriented activities include several designed to increase the involvement of dads and father figures and involve families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds."

The study includes activities designed to improve school, family and community partnerships from 82 schools in 21 states. Also included are projects from 10 school districts, 6 organizations and 3 state departments of education. The activities describe how to involve families and the community in math and reading nights, science and social studies projects, back-to-school events, and health and safety programs.

The NNPS guides schools, districts, states, and organizations across the country to develop effective programs of family and community involvement. Members of NNPS share their best practices to help others improve their programs of school, family, and community partnerships.
