Our school will be choosing a Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration program. Does the National Network of Partnership Schools qualify as a comprehensive school reform model?
Yes! The National Network of Partnership Schools was identified by the National Institute on the Education of At-Risk Students of the U.S. Department of Education as one of 27 research-based comprehensive school reform models. The Network’s approach includes the nine components for comprehensive school reform as specified in the CSRD legislation (including a research-based method, parent and community involvement, and evaluation strategies among others). For more information, please read, “National Network Selected as a Tool for Comprehensive School Reform,” in Type 2, No. 5, Fall, 1998. “School in Danbury, CT Implements Full Partnership Schools-Comprehensive School Reform Model,” in Type 2, No. 7, Fall, 1999.
