  Year 2 Activities
 
  • The data gathered from all four focus groups is currently being analyzed and evaluated. Draft results will be sent to session participants for review and commentary of high-level themes and key points.
 
  • Once analyzed for patterns and recommendations, the data will be converted to a document emphasizing significant factors in exemplary partnerships and implications for teaching and learning.
 
  • The findings will be disseminated throughout the year at local, regional, and national conferences for a variety of educator audiences.
 
  • The project advisory board is developing a broader dissemination plan for the outcomes, to include business and government stakeholders.
