The National Federation of Chinese Schools (National Council of Associations of Chinese Language Schools, NCACLS) was established in 1994 in Washington,DC. It was originally initiated by the Southern California Chinese Schools Association when it invited clubs, federations, and other affiliations to design and create an association which jointly promotes Chinese language and culture and is committed to maintaining the quality and interests of Chinese schools. In addition to it's regular goals, the NCACLS also publishes Chinese materials throughout the United States. It currently has 47 member schools with a student population of about 100,000 people. The NCACLS Federation website content is divided into two large categories: information and teaching resources. The information section provides brief descriptions and updates about regional organizations and their events and activities. It also announces essay contests and other actives. The teaching resources section provides lots of teaching materials for Chinese textbooks created by the association, focusing in teaching descriptions, phonetic activities and cultural essays. Additionally, the site has a collection of support links, education instructions, online dictionaries and more. Students can also take advantage of the student dedicated section of the site, that features winning essays and provides students an opportunity to exchange ideas and keep in touch.
