The National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) is a research-based approach to improving family-school-community partnerships to amplify student success in school. Established at John Hopkins University in 1996, the NNPS mode consists of four essential elements:
1. Action Teams for Partnerships
2. Framework of Six Types of Involvement
3. One-Year Action Plan for Partnership
4. Program Evaluation
This Handbook for Action that accompanies the NNPS model is a great place to learn about research on family engagement and how to systematically embed family engagement in education program operations.
