The go-to resource to communicate about the Common Core

About Proving the Value of School Communication...

CAP LogoAn updated NSPRA resource is now available to help members, superintendents, board members and other school leaders build the case for an effective two-way authentic communication program for our schools.

NSPRA’s Communication Accountability Program (CAP) strives to document the value of a total school district communication effort. You will find research, opinion surveys, and commentary on the critical need for investing in school communication.

The resource is open to everyone and will continue to be updated as new information becomes available. Go to nspra.org/cap to begin building a better understanding on the multiple contributions made by effective communication.
