This brief is the third in a series developed in 2013 for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and focuses on aligning policies and practices to better support postsecondary completion.
In 2013, Equal Measure (then known as the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning) with our client the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, published a series of briefs investigating the key principles of systems change through collective impact strategies, gleaned from a national evaluation of the Foundation’s Community Partnerships Portfolio. This brief addresses two questions:
- Why is aligning policies and practices important for place-based investments?
- How can communities successfully align policies and practices to increase postsecondary success?
The other briefs in our community partnerships series are below:
- Building Commitment
- Using Data
- Aligning Policies and Practices (viewing now)
- Building and Sustaining Partnerships
- Amplifying Learning
