| Abstract: | Community-led solutions to educational challenges "can and will" sustainably increase the number of Washingtonians with education and training after high school. This framework demonstrates how the authors measure short- and long-term outcomes to capture partnership impact and population-level change. Washington Student Achievement Council's (WSAC) plan to achieve 70 percent statewide attainment relies on community solutions. The Regional Challenge Grant (RCG) is a key mechanism in WSAC's broader Regional Partnership (RP) approach to invest in partnerships that identify strategies to drive change to targeted populations in their local communities. RP elevates place-based approaches as a meaningful strategy for creating an educational system that works to help all learners succeed. Through this intentional evaluation framework, WSAC consistently monitors program impact to spur innovation. Early evidence created by Regional Partnerships shows the clear efficacy of this approach: when power and resources are reallocated to the partnerships, communities, and individuals who are at the center of the work, real change can be created. |
