2003 Partnership Award Winners
Schools, districts, states, organizationswith EXCELLENT programs of school, family, and community partnerships are invited to apply for the National Network’s Partnership Awards each spring. These awards recognize schools, districts, states, and organizations that have been in the Network for at least two years, demonstrate high quality plans and practices, and make continuous improvement in their partnership programs from year to year.
The Partnership Awards program is not a competition. All programs that reach high standards on six criteria will be recognized: Teamwork, Leadership, Action Plans, Implementation, Evaluation, and Network Connections. A letter of recommendation also is required. The criteria are based on the National Network’s research on effective components of partnership programs and on suggestions from Network members.
Winners of the Partnership School Awards, Partnership District Awards, Partnership State Awards, and Partnership Organization Awards are announced each August. The programs that are honored receive an award banner or plaque and are publicized in the Network’s newsletter and website, and in local and national education media. Each award winner also receives one free registration for an NNPS Leadership Development Conference.
New! NNPS will offer $500 prizes and Special Recognition to up to 10 schools, districts, and states, or organizations as part of its Partnership Awards program. Special Recognition will go to programs that show sustained quality, leadership, and progress for more than two years. Those receiving Special Recognition will be invited to share details about how they have organized, customized, and implemented NNPS research-based practices in their locations.Partnership Award Applications are sent to NNPS members each March.
