Additional Information
Why "Future Ready"?
The term "Future Ready" best represents what Partners collectively believe is the team's overarching goal: To prepare students, socially, emotionally and academically, for any bright future of their choosing while also ensuring that all postsecondary pathways are open to all students after graduation.
Over the years, partners have identified the importance of how social, emotional, and academic factors impact future outcomes for students. Partners have identified that while they share a common goal of postsecondary attainment for all students, they recognize that each student's postsecondary pathway might look different as they follow their own dreams.
What happened to CRAT, CEAT, Enrollment Teams?
In order to continue the work started last year weaving together the work of the Plan, Enrollment, KEDO, and Completion teams, we’re bringing everyone together as a Future Ready dream team. Starting September 23, 2021, we will begin having partners from these teams meet as a single group to better integrate all of the strategies that are working toward educational equity in college and career readiness, enrollment, and completion (while still using small groups to move the action forward).
Shared Data
Below is a slide show of the team’s current set of shared data. This data is used at each monthly meeting as part of the collaborative improvement process facilitated by the Partnership’s Backbone staff. It is used to help the team assess, adjust, and/or amplify its collaborative action strategies.
