IMPACT
The goal of the Collaborative is to coalesce regional networks around equity pathways under one collaborative umbrella. Additionally, the Collaborative will engage a wider community of allies in the robust exchange of curriculum design, student success interventions, equity strategies, and pathway mapping in the three sectors—with the intent of growing equitable pathway strategies across the broader Bay Area.
The Bay Area K-16 Collaborative will focus on:
Supporting college preparation and early credit.
Retaining students through inclusive supports.
Cultivating inclusive, engaging, and equity-oriented learning environments.
Providing high-tech, high touch advising.
SUPPORTED TRANSITIONS ACROSS THE CONTINUUM
Work-based Learning Continuum from high school through college
PLANNING YEAR AND CONCEPT PAPER
PLANNING YEAR 2022-2023
The planning year allowed the Collaborative to further engage stakeholder partners, forge unity around common priorities across institutions and within subregions, address alignment opportunities at the systems level, and bring additional allies to the table, including industry partners and employers.
The planning phase provided dedicated time for regional partners to plan a culture shift across our institutions to move from an individualized institution approach to a collaborative model crossing traditional institutional boundaries. This groundwork will inform an implementation design to build out equitable pathways in the selected disciplines across the network.
CONCEPT PAPER
This concept paper was designed to introduce and orient new partners to the Bay Area K-16 Regional Collaborative. As the Collaborative added partners and momentum, ideas are building out through Work Groups and in partner conversations. One area of change since the Concept Paper was published, was the adjustment of pathways of focus to include health.
