NNPS's website has a new look! To celebrate its 10th Anniversary, NNPS launched the new and improved www.partnershipschools.org. The website – including research summaries and hundreds of practical ideas on partnerships – is a lifeline to members, prospective members, the media, researchers, parents, and the public.
Visitors to NNPS will see new, friendly colors (see p. 11) and will experience an improved navigation system. Useful menus have been added to each section for users to find more and better information – quicker – on developing programs of family and community involvement.
New sections include Professional Development, with information on NNPS conferences and workshops for improving the quality of partnership programs. Research and Evaluation includes research summaries and a list of NNPS publications. New links make it easier to find information on NNPS’s technical assistance for the Military Child Initiative and on meeting requirements for family involvement in the No Child Left Behind Act.
Other features of the old website have been retained. NNPS Model provides the basic components for school, district, state, and organization programs. Success Stories in the Spotlight gives easy access to over 600 involvement activities. A few sections are still under construction and will be completed soon. NNPS invites members to visit the website often and suggest topics to help them improve the quality of their partnership programs.
