Learning Collaborative Participation Information

GUIDING COMMUNITIES WITH A BIG PICTURE APPROACH

We believe communities can achieve...

  • EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS
  • HEALTH AND WELLNESS
  • EQUITABLE OUTCOMES
  • OVERALL IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE

The National Learning Collaborative is a three-phase experience designed for communities to align and strengthen their collaborative efforts while learning how to identify, prioritize, and take action on strategic advantages, challenges, and opportunities.  Multi-sector groups learn in cohorts of several communities that have committed to participate in each 12 month phase.

Included:

  • Pre-collaborative leadership team-building sessions
  • Annual kick-off conference
  • A customized online community scorecard of measures across the five COE domains for your community
  • Monthly online sessions
  • Access to community development tools, resources, and proven promising practices
  • Monthly connections with a community excellence group mentor
  • Opportunity to engage in the Assessment and Recognition Program
  • Post-collaborative Alumni Group for continuous improvement
