Partnerships for Student Success:
Policy Connections between Schools and Colleges
|
The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education is partnering with researchers from the Institute for Educational Leadership and Stanford University's Institute for Higher Education Research to examine state policies and governance that span elementary, secondary, and higher education. This research into inter-level programs and K-16 policies will help states learn about promising reforms and ways to connect their education systems to benefit all students.
PARTNERSHIPS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS will not evaluate programs or policies; rather, the project will seek to identify and examine the aspects of inter-level governance and related state policies that contribute to, or detract from, effective and coherent connections between schools and colleges. The project springs from the premise that there is an increasingly pressing need to close the gap between K-12 and postsecondary education systems. It is supported by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
