Collaborative has provided a spectrum of communications services in support of the Foundation’s efforts to create the strategy and infrastructure capable of engaging a state-based and national policy that ensure an opportunity to learn for all students. Our efforts have included the redesign of the Foundation’s Web site, which includes the creation of content management system and architecture that enables expanded grassroots advocacy and public engagement efforts. In addition, we have created federal policy recommendations, hosted Hill briefings, and conducted national and trade media to promote Lost Opportunity: A 50 State Report on the Opportunity To Learn in America.
In addition, we supported the agenda and partnership development of the Foundation’s 2009 Opportunity to Learn Summit, which included the participation of congressional, civil rights, research and philanthropic leaders, as well as a diverse group of stakeholders involved in civic engagement activities of students, practitioners and community leaders.
