About the GPS Network
The Great Public Schools (GPS) Network will serve as a tool to aid in NEA’s efforts to Lead the Professions. Through the GPS Network online, members will be able to communicate and address common core standards, educational leadership, and other key educational issues.
NEA Focusing on Student Success
The purpose of the GPS Network is to develop a network of NEA members, affiliates, and partners who will collaborate, advocate, and organize to improve public education by leading a student-centered Association agenda.
The Great Public Schools site has many components:
1. Collaborating on professional issues
2. Searching for resources to enhance lessons plans and share ideas
3. Reading educational blogs and up-to-date educational news
4. Sharing opinions through a feature called Today’s Poll
5. Exploring Practical Tools provided by NEA and other partners
6. Joining events of interest that are announced via the GPS Network, i.e., webinars, podcasts, etc.
