Leadership Engagement
What is it?
When K-12, community college and municipal leadership is committed and engaged in improving K-12 to college transition, students benefit. Without their guidance and focus, systems tend to stay siloed and disconnected. We recommend using initial data and convening local leaders to look at the transition issues together and creating some benchmarks for progress moving forward. Without engaged leadership, systems stay the same and aren’t able to respond to the changing needs of students or employers.
