The Strive Partnership is focused on the success of our children: every child, every step, from cradle to career. The Strive Partnership unites common providers around shared issues, goals, measurements and results, and then actively supports and strengthens strategies that work.
Journey To Success
A Look Ahead
Early Grade-Level Reading and STEM Innovation
Recognizing the importance of early grade level reading and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) success, funders, district leaders, and nonprofit providers will launch comprehensive efforts to boost reading, science and math achievement. These two new collaborative efforts, one focused on early-grade level reading, and the second on STEM, will help to bring leaders together around shared goals, strategies, and outcomes.
Learning Partner Dashboard Expansion
The Partnership will continue to support implementation of the Dashboard across CPS, as well as to improve the Dashboard’s functionality and relevancy through ongoing enhancements that will be based on what users want and need. Expansion will link early learning and development data with the Dashboard, and efforts are underway to bring the tool to Covington and Newport.
Impact U
Through the Partnership’s support of the Social Innovation Fund (SIF), we will help launch Impact U, which includes workshops and coaching designed to build the capacity of education providers to implement continuous improvement processes and manage organizational impact in support of key community indicators. Impact U will also provide training and technical assistance to existing and new collaborative efforts to drive impact around the Partnership’s eight priority outcomes.
Together We Educate
To better attract principals and teachers to the region, leaders from local districts, colleges of education, and businesses are launching a new website, Together We Educate. This site will present the assets and advantages of living and educating in the urban core, provide information and resources such as evidenced-based professional development, and link directly to each district and university plus promote what opportunities and incentives are available to principals and teachers. Partners are investigating additional collaborative efforts to recruit top talent to our local schools.
Aligned State Policy Agenda
Having developed a shared “cradle to career” state policy agenda, the Partnership is now playing a much larger advocacy role in Columbus and Frankfort. Partners are pushing for greater investments in early learning and development, funding based on results and data, and the kind of systems alignment pursued locally through The Strive Partnership.
Regional Data Portal
A collaborative of local partners, including the Strive Partnership, has formed to construct a regional data portal for community level data. The goal of this effort is to provide a unifi ed gateway into the education, social, economic, demographic, and health information in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.
