  8. TVEP Beginnings • 2010 ― A United Way of Treasure Valley (UWTV) study called the Treasure Valley Education Partnership (TVEP) identified the true high school graduation rate, dropout rate and college going rate for the valley. • Data revealed Caldwell School District (CSD) as having the most need and was prioritized. • UWTV partnered with CSD and the Treasure Valley Family YMCA to implement the first district-wide continuum of education, called the P16 Caldwell Education Project.

  9. TVEP Beginnings (Cont.) • Meanwhile, Southern Idaho Conference (SIC) superintendents ― comprising 10 districts in the valley ― united to align their message. • The SIC met with and partnered with leaders from K-12, nonprofits, foundations, the business community and postsecondary institutions. •  Oct. 2011 ― TVEP joined the Strive Network, which provides a framework for success in 60 communitiesand 31 states.

  11. Community Support TVEP has received community investments from: • JP Morgan Chase & Co. • Wells Fargo • The Wharton Foundation • Many other companies/organizations throughout the valley

  12. Focus Areas TVEP focuses on ensuring that every child: • Is prepared for school. • Is supported inside and outside school. • Succeeds academically. • Enrolls in and completes some form of post high school education. • Enters their career of choice. • Is supported through meaningful career progression.

  13. Networks for Each Focus Area • Each Goal has a corresponding Network to implement strategies and collaborative action within that area. • Each Network is composed of community members with expertise in that area. • Each Network includes a Core Team liaison and two chairs.

  14. Recent Success • Established community-level indicators for four of six focus areas • Hired Director of Continuous Improvement • Mobilized more than 200 organizations • Recognized as having phenomenal leadership • Network planning teams have identified priorities to begin our work in Prepared for School and Supported Inside and Outside of School groups • Secondary and postsecondary leaders of TVEP have decided to work collectively

  15. Lessons Learned Focus • The fewer indicators the better (10-12 at community level.) • Focus on three priorities that everyone can agree on. • Stay present to what you can do in a year’s time. • Don’t let perfection get in the way of action. Structure • New structure is critical. It takes “grass tops”and “grass roots.” • Concept of middle field • Must have leadership focus and a home

  16. Lessons Learned Process • Manage expectations. • Forming, storming and norming. • Everyone will be at different levels. That’s OK. • There is tremendous power in collective impact. • Our voice is heard. • There is an end to the honeymoon period. • Be sensitive to voices you are missing.

  17. Lessons Learned The Work • This work is all about honesty. • Education outcomes vs. mobilization outcomes. • Be careful to think you are ever done. • Build on current work. • This work is a leap of faith. • Data can be sad; don’t let it numb you.

  18. Remember… • Failing forward • Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good • Move from proving to improving • Investing in education is different than funding education

  19. How You Can Get Involved • Quarterly Advisory Group Meetings ― Everyone is invited to learn aboutprogress and provide feedback NEXT MEETINGS: 2-4 p.m. January 10 2-4 p.m. April 11 • Join a Network • Share the vision
