(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home1/diqosbmy/public_html/clients/strive-together/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131As hundreds of leaders and practitioners across sectors converge in Memphis for StriveTogether\u2019s Cradle to Career Network Convening<\/a>, we are proud to announce the designation of StrivePartnership of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky<\/a> as our first Proof Point Community<\/a>, celebrating the achievements of local partners and institutions working together to change how education systems work to improve outcomes from cradle to career.<\/p>\n After a decade of cross-sector efforts, nearly 80 percent of key indicators of student success are improving<\/strong>. And, behaviors, policies and practices have changed<\/strong> and continue to change across the community to align efforts and resources to improve outcomes from kindergarten readiness through post-secondary completion.<\/p>\n When StrivePartnership started in 2006, a group of leaders from various sectors throughout the Cincinnati area came together with a common goal: to improve academic success in the urban core. More than 300 cross-sector representatives joined the partnership, including school district superintendents, early-childhood educators, nonprofit practitioners, business leaders, community and corporate funders, city officials and university presidents.<\/p>\n By sitting around the same table, partners were able to align around shared educational goals and outcomes.<\/p>\n Now, 10 years later, organizations, institutions, and community members \u2014\u00a0including Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, United Way<\/a>, Cincinnati Public Schools<\/a>\u00a0and the business community \u2014\u00a0are aligning their work to support a shared cradle-to-career vision.<\/p>\n Here are some of the successes StrivePartnership and its partners have had recently that exemplify how systems are changing:<\/p>\n 1) \u00a0Investing in what works:<\/strong> Public and private funders are changing the way they think about investments, recognizing the importance of investing in high-impact, evidence-based, scalable interventions in ways that secure sustainable public funding. Every Child Capital<\/a>, a first-in-the-nation venture philanthropy fund focused on scaling proven early literacy interventions that have a business case for public funding and a secured public partner, has attracted more than $4 million dollars in funding.<\/p>\n Cincinnati Public Schools<\/a>, in partnership with the Cincinnati Preschool Promise<\/a>, is pursuing an unprecedented November 2016 levy to significantly expand access to preschool and strengthen the pre-K-12 public school system so every child has a strong start and a strong future.<\/p>\n 2) Using continuous improvement:<\/strong> Over the last year, StrivePartnership developed a rapid-cycle continuous improvement capability training series, Impact U<\/a>, for the region\u2019s education leaders with Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a> (CCHMC) and StriveTogether. Community leaders are improving early grade reading, and a key Cincinnati Public Schools executive is now working half time at Children\u2019s Hospital to ensure true collaboration.<\/p>\n \u201cThe bold experiment of ImpactU to build community capacity to have meaningful quality improvement skills that start small but build up in a systematic way is a critical partnership between CCHMC and StrivePartnership,\u201d Tom DeWitt of Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital said.<\/p>\n 3) Aligning postsecondary partners:<\/strong> A collaborative of two- and four-year institutions from Ohio and Kentucky are analyzing data across postsecondary institutions to understand root causes for low postsecondary attainment through the Persistence Project<\/a>. Spending time together strengthened relationships and allowed for sharing data across state lines, which is almost impossible.<\/p>\n \u201cThe work done across higher educational institutions might be difficult to continue without the avenue and opportunity that StrivePartnership provides to collaborate. It helps to have a regional focus. With the catalyst to move it forward, that has a bigger impact than working alone,\u201d Dr. Patricia Mahabir of Gateway Community College<\/a>\u00a0said.<\/p>\n
