Building Impact: A Closer Look at Local Cross-Sector Collaborations for Education

In recent years, communities caught the collective impact fever and established robust cross-sector collaborations to improve young people’s educational outcomes. Interest was booming. Businesses signed up. Expectations were high. What does research tell us about how these efforts have fared?

During this webinar session, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from the researchers on the challenges faced in these communities, including working with school districts that may see collaboration as a distraction from their core goals; finding ways to engage marginalized groups in the decision-making process; securing stable, long-term funding; and managing expectations that may be unrealistic.

In spite of such hurdles, the initiatives have shown sufficient potential for benefiting education reform, which will also be explored in this session. Register here!
