As part of our targeted tier of technical assistance, the Center offers peer-to-peer collaborative opportunities for SEAs and LEAs to work on a shared problem of practice relevant to the broader field. This work yields co-designed and participant-tested tools and resources that are then disseminated more broadly to the field.
To date, we have offered the following four collaboratives:
Transforming Kindergarten
Focused early childhood education – including Kindergarten – as a powerful lever for equitable school and life success
Data for Truth and Action
Focused on using a liberatory design process to address persistent whole-person disparities in access, experiences, and outcomes
Comprehensive School Safety
Focused on the adaptive and relational aspects of implementation, resulting in more equitable, comprehensive approaches to school safety
Alignment, Coherence, and Strategic Communication
Focused on promoting alignment and coherence of whole-person initiatives
