Spring, 2001, No. 10 National Network of Partnership Schools
Excellent Partnership Programs May Apply for Network's Annual Awards
Schools, districts, and states with excellent and permanent programs of school, family, and community partnerships are invited to apply for the National Network’s Partnership Awards for the 2000-2001 school year. Applicants must provide evidence of excellence for at least two years on six major criteria: Teamwork, Leadership, Plans for Action, Implementation/ Facilitation, Evaluation, and Network Connections. These are the Network’s research-based “essential elements” of excellent partnership programs that members are guided to design, implement, improve, and sustain over time.
Recipients of the Partnership School Awards, Partnership District Awards, and Partnership State Awards will be announced in August, 2001. The winners will be publicized in the fall issue of Type 2, on the Network’s website, and in local and national education media.
Partnership Awards applications were mailed to all members of the National Network in February, and are due by May 31. Extra copies may be obtained on request, or downloaded from the Network’s website at www.partnershipschools.org.
