Description

The Collaborative is a branded initiative run by its organizing collaborative to support state leaders through participatory design, relationship-building, collaboration, and leadership development.

Components

  • Participatory systems approach to collaborative design that fosters relationship building and active knowledge acquisition: The brief describes a "participatory systems approach in the Collaborative's design and practice" that fostered "relationship building, collaboration, and active knowledge acquisition." It operates through empathy in the design process, inclusion embedded in the infrastructure, and structured leadership development, treating state leaders as active co-participants rather than recipients of technical assistance. (Region 15 Comprehensive Center (2022))
  • Three measurable statewide teacher workforce goals: shortages, equitable access, and diversity: The Collaborative proposes three goal areas anchoring statewide planning: addressing teacher shortages by increasing fully prepared teachers in designated shortage areas, improving equitable access so students in highest need schools have access to fully prepared and experienced teachers mirroring lowest need schools, and increasing teacher diversity to mirror the state. Each goal is structured with subgoals and metrics (Appendix A), informed by review of goals in Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas, and grounded in a long-term vision that "All learners have equitable access to a fully prepared educator workforce that mirrors the diversity of the student population." (White et al. (2025))
