Implementing the Theory of

Action

The partnership formalizes a set of messages that are aligned and effectively communicated across partners and the community.

Partners demonstrate shared accountability for improving community level outcomes.

Partners effectively communicate attribution of success and recognition of challenges.

The partnership enables student-level academic and non-academic data to be shared appropriately across partners in a timely manner to enable continuous improvement to improve outcomes.

Pillar 2: Evidence

Based Decision Making

Action

Pillar 4: Investment & Sustainability

Community Vision

A cross-sector partnership with a defined geographic scope organizes around a cradle to career vision.

The partnership collects and disaggregates baseline data by key sub-populations for core indicators.

The partnership enables the collection and connection of student-level academic and non-academic data across the cradle to career pipeline and among partners to enable continuous improvement.

Partners use continuous improvement to identify activities/practices that are improving community level outcomes and spread these to impact outcomes.

The partnership commits to using continuous improvement to guide the work.

Opportunities and barriers are identified by the Networks and lifted up for partners to take action to improve community level outcomes.

The Theory of Action is based on StriveTogether’s Framework for Building Cradle to Career Civic Infrastructure. The Theory of Action consists of five Gateways: Exploring, Emerging, Sustaining, Systems Change and Proof Point. Within each of the five Gateways, there are a series of quality benchmarks that are key steps in developing and sustaining a partnership. Meeting the quality benchmarks in the Exploring, Emerging and Sustaining Gateways leads to System Change and ultimately Proof Point.

Partnerships implementing the Theory of Action effectively demonstrate four principles as they move from building a partnership to impacting outcomes:

1. Engage the Community

2. Focus on Eliminating Locally Defined Disparities

3. Develop a Culture of Continuous Improvement

4. Leverage Existing Assets
