Have you heard about the National Governor Association's "Let's Get Ready" initiative? We recently hosted an exclusive conversation for our clients and colleagues with Tamara (Tammi) Hiler, Governor Polis' special advisor for K-12 and early childhood, and Seth Gerson, Program Director at the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. Key takeaways from the initiative that were shared: ▪️ Comprehensive Scope: Covers early childhood to workforce development, emphasizing student readiness at every stage. ▪️Work-Based Learning: Highlights apprenticeships, dual enrollment, and hands-on experiences to prepare students for life after high school. ▪️New Success Metrics: Seeks innovative ways to measure readiness, focusing on 21st-century skills beyond diplomas and test scores. ▪️Kindergarten Readiness: Explores ways to define readiness consistently across states to align early learning with K-12 goals. ▪️Scaling Proven Strategies: Evaluates what’s working—like high-impact tutoring—and aims to scale successful programs. It was a privilege to offer this opportunity for our community to engage in this important conversation about the future of education. #EducationPolicy #StudentSuccess #WorkforceDevelopment

This course explores strategies for developing online and professional continuing education programs with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will examine how higher education institutions address the needs of underserved populations and their role in career exploration, upskilling, apprenticeships, and credentialing. By analyzing faculty and staff contributions, we will identify initiatives that balance financial sustainability with social impact.

#ThrowbackThursday #CTEWorks: We (Justin Dayhoff) also implemented transformative reforms, including the Maryland Works and Maryland Tutoring Corps programs, designed to foster strategic partnerships throughout the state to close opportunity gaps. These initiatives are addressing post-pandemic challenges and future needs, earning recognition from federal leaders as exemplary models for leveraging pandemic funding for lasting educational impact (https://bit.ly/4hFoP08). "In June 2023, Maryland awarded $12.2 million in ESSER state set-aside funding to six local education agencies (LEAs) and three statewide intermediaries through the Maryland Works initiative. The grants were designed as seed funding to build new partnerships, establish youth apprenticeship intermediary organizations and create new programs for youth. Although the grants served only half a dozen LEAs directly, all 24 districts have benefited from support by a statewide youth apprenticeship intermediary, which helps districts — particularly those in rural areas — build capacity, identify and engage interested students, manage scheduling challenges and more. Maryland Works has already demonstrated tremendous success. The number of youth apprenticeships statewide increased from 560 to 1,100 in just one year and is on track to reach the statewide goal of more than 3,000 new apprenticeships and 400 business partnerships (https://bit.ly/48IuPBs)." (Rooting for Richard W. Kincaid and the CTE Ninjas as they work to ensure implementation fidelity and achieve lasting, student-centered outcomes at scale).
