SUNY Cradle to Career in Albany, NY

September 12, 2016

05/01/2023 8

Highlights:• Prioritization: We have to move the dial in one place

in order to gain authenticity. What can you move/impact by June? Focus on that first. • In Albany, they started with just getting kids

registered for kindergarten. It’s a great first step.• Memphis focus was on having more students fill

out their FAFSA forms. Goal of 100 percent filling out their FAFSA forms.

• There are now 69 StriveTogether members• 7 of them in are in New York state (most in the

nation, but Ohio is close)• Authentic university participation. Chancellor Zimpher

wants SUNY to be all in.

05/01/2023 9

Cradle to Career Advocacy • Both Minnesota and Utah have

had state legislation support StriveTogether efforts.

• But currently, Gov. Cuomo thinks it’s too big to take on.

• In Albany, the SUNY C2C Alliance talked about banding together to create policy change at the state level, as well as find ways for SUNY to support these efforts both locally and state-wide.

Takeaways from Memphis Convening:1. The struggle is real.2. The true price of fame.3. Don’t look down.4. There are no easy answers.

1) Everyone struggles to find the right path.

05/01/2023 12

OR…

2) PR in the Collective Impact world is a sticky wicket.

05/01/2023 13

Yes, but…It’s all well and good to keep our heads down and focus on the work, but without taking credit, how do we show how important we are?

3) The CANs drive both Sustainability and the Collective part of collective impact.

05/01/2023 14

• All of the sessions about sustainability and bringing the community together focused on supporting the programing that is driven by the CANs’ work.

• The initiatives focused on the CANs, data and communications, not on fundraising for themselves. Those funds came from one or multiple anchor entities and featured longer term commitments.

4) Session titles are sometimes a little misleading.

COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORK

05/01/2023 23

• Data is put to work in Collaborative Action Networks (CANs) — the engine behind collective impact. • A CAN is a group of people comprised of experts, practitioners, and providers who convene around a

specific educational outcome and indicator. • The CAN is intended to serve as a learning community for network members who identify and share best

practices, develop local solutions, and commit to engaging in continuous improvement processes within their own programs, institutions, and the CAN.

05/01/2023 24

• Met with Karen Fahy, Director of Humanities at GCSD

• Will meet again in two weeks• Plan first meeting for November• Need to finalize CAN director • Need to finalize members• Then create a charter• Then go to work!

COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORK:LITERACY

05/01/2023 25

Data:• We just lost our main data

contact at GCSD.• Only a part-time BOCES person

remains.• Supt. Newton is looking at

options, but we need a solution now.

• Geneva 2020 needs a small data workgroup to devise a plan

for going forward. • Please let me know if you are

not interested in serving on the workgroup, otherwise I will assume that you are.
