NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP

The StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network is a national alliance of community partnerships working to improve education success for every child by bringing together cross-sector partners around a common vision.

There are dozens of these partnerships across United States building local collaborative action infrastructures to improve education outcomes for every child.

STRIVETOGETHER HAS DEVELOPED A THEORY OF ACTION BUILT UPON FOUR KEY PRINCIPLES: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, MINIMIZING DISPARITIES, CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, AND LEVERAGING EXISTING ASSETS TO GET THE JOB DONE.

With these principles in mind, community partnerships like the Spartanburg Academic Movement are able to chart a path through a series of gateways in StriveTogether’s Theory of Action from the early stages of formation through systems change and ultimately proof point., i.e., sustained behavior change with targeted achievement outcomes improving year over year.

StriveTogether supports these partnerships with resources designed to help them create a civic infrastructure that unites stakeholders around shared goals, measures, and results.

Communities implementing the StriveTogether® framework have seen improvements in kindergarten readiness, standardized test results, and college admission and retention.
