I couldn't agree more with Connie about both the staff and work of the
National Network of Partnership Schools.  Plus, when you review the 6-type
framework you'll see how well the family literacy components overlay the
6-types of school, family and community involvement.  I know I've used this
often in showing schools how family literacy is a concept that fits right
into their "school culture".

Anyone interested in the subject of improving partnerships between families
and educators should
explore the National Network of Partnership Schools, housed at the Center on
Family, School, and
Community Partnerships/Johns Hopkins University and ably led by Joyce
Epstein.   The web site is
<http://www.csos.jhu.edu/p2000/>.  Joyce and her staff are among the most
helpful professionals I
have had the pleasure of working with.  Their work covers types of
partnership or parent
involvement beyond family literacy, but family literacy is certainly
included in the partnership
framework.  I encourage you to check the site and to contact the staff.
