ABOUT SFCP

The mission of this Center is to conduct and disseminate research, development, and policy analyses that help families, educators, and communities work together to improve schools, strengthen families, and enhance student learning and development. The Center began its work in 1990 as the Center on Families, Communities, Schools, and Children’s Learning. Current projects include the development of and research on the National Network of Partnership Schools, with an emphasis on the structures and policies advisable to “scale up” programs of partnership to all schools in a district or state. An international network of scholars from more than 40 nations works on these and related topics.
