Joyce L. Epstein, Ph.D. in Sociology from Johns Hopkins University, is Director of the Center on 
School, Family, and Community Partnerships and the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) and Professor of Education at Johns Hopkins University. In 1995, she established the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS), which provides professional development for school, district, and state leaders to develop research-based programs of family and community involvement (see www.partnershipschools.org).
Dr. Epstein has over one hundred fifty publications on family and community involvement including School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Your Handbook for Action, 3rd Edition (Corwin Press, 2009), and a textbook for college courses for future teachers and administrators entitled School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Preparing Educators and Improving Schools, 2nd Edition (Westview Press, 2011). Dr. Epstein was named a Fellow of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in 2009 and received the 2009 Elizabeth Cohen Award for Applied Research from AERA’s Sociology of Education Special Interest Group. Her current research focuses on how district and school leadership affects the quality of school-based programs of family and community engagement and results for students. In all of her work, she is interested in the connections of research, policy, and practice.
