- CM/ Alum partnership, lack there of
- how partner orgs we work w/ now (braven, lee), space to do mission alignment on broad level?
- humbling constraints of leadership, tough to navigate
- been here 25 years, AGC has brought new perspective about partnership developments. steps should be calculated. New orgs that pop up, leadership changes, sometimes start / restart. a lot of orgs are up & out. hard to sustain rships overtime, brainstorming ways to sustain it, pathways etc
- graduate schools with work with, every region works diff, so CM experience not universal. in class diff, alum experience is diff. but how can we make it a linear experience? what do we have quality control over?

# data[].attributes.body
- compensation
- if we have RSL, want to be instructional leaders, how would it look to match alum w/ cohort to offer PD/ Obs, anything?
- if MTLDs kept role, how bring in alum expertise, how quality control? mentoring? Instructional?
- what systems/ structures to leverage vs. build?

# data[].attributes.body
- how much is our vision driven by our goals vs participant leadership goals?
- are we attaching our goals in a way that matters to you.
- If we're about collective lship, play on networking, satisfaction.. .
- even if we put stake in ground for what we believe, recruiting across the country, helping guide Cms through their own goals.
- ed vs broad oppty tension
- are we 1) guiding folks to broad experiences and let them land where they land OR 2) creating conditions for these to happen, strategies will create conditions?
- levels of strategy - instructional (micro), DEI (macro), missing is systemic in between space
- balance between interests - change in class can translate to change macro. learning systemic change in ed, learn to apply how they want in personal goals
- :LD, learning experience in Baltimore, micro learning opptys, had been to bunch of neighborhoods, people - unique access, insight, connection to people & places
- invitation to TFA familiies built around common interest to help create oppty for connection

Thinking about CMs and Alum through the lens of the action they want to take vs. the roles they have

regional designs and decisions informed by research on macro impacts

# data[].attributes.body
begin making identity markers measurable in some ways for accountability to who we are vs are not (ie degree to which we measure micro impact vs macro impact)

Alum Speakers Series - As part of the package - CM's attend X # and commit to X # as Alum

# data[].attributes.body
cohorts based on trajectory open to all parts oft the joourney (long term educator, medicicine, politics)

# data[].attributes.body
Alumni playing larger role in support of ICMs and CMs - possibly coaching (at school) - something to not only bring them back into the region but to create a network of TFAers that is not sustained only by the regional staff.

# data[].attributes.body
We center the experience earlier in year 2 around where CMs shared the wanted to be impactful when they joined the corps

# data[].attributes.body
Exposure to alum from the start so there is a clear model of how alum leadership can look

yes yes! - LD
Yes! - Meher

Interested to learn more about what this would mean vs what it looks like now- Matt

yes and a partner providing high quality, aligned content - Erin

# data[].attributes.body
Reimagining alumni engagement w/ focus on the collective -- maybe CM's, alumni source volunteer needs and we call on alum to support? How do we make specific a focus/need for more collective effort through our programming?

Matt- Strong agree

# data[].attributes.body
Dividing CM and recent alum by career interest and using that to help inform coaching and opportunities for engagement; involving alum and community partners based on their expertise and affiliation with that career pathway

Yes! - LD
Yes! - Meher

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on cultivating alumni stories/stats/networks in fields tangential to education -- how are people expanding opportunity even outside schools/school systems?

# data[].attributes.body
BIg brother - big sister mentorship type program between CM's and Alum -- connect them to one another (ra) yes

# data[].attributes.body
Recent Alum and CMs learning alongside one another at Regional retreats and other pd opps

Yes! - Meher

# data[].attributes.body
Do we know what people want as they develop as leaders? If they do not know, are we helping them answer that question?

# data[].attributes.body
How are alumni informing the experienc of Pre-Corps and Currentl Corps? Alum should  coach Corps. In specific content groups. (RA) Yes

# data[].attributes.body
Better collaboration with neighbor regions like Philly and New York to build more capacity and craft a greater regional direction for our work. Creating space for us to work together towards common goals and finding models where we can show other non profits how to work together and navigate things like funding and collaborative projects

Alum in schools taking an active role in coaching and mentoring CMs

Mo- YES

Realign maximum support to high leverage impact zone (WHAT IS THAT? lol)

Sounds like a chapter in a physics textbook, but yes! - Meher

# data[].attributes.body
Vertical alignment from ICM to CM to alumni

So interesting! - Meher

# data[].attributes.body
targeted exposure alumni in different fields -- helping to draw the through line of what cm's do every day in their classroom and how that matters across the board (i.e. explicit leadership development rooted in the classroom experience)

# data[].attributes.body
Participation beyond CM years -- handholding into Alumni hood and maintaining coaching for folks who stay on as teachers and for those who go into policy(LEE)

# data[].attributes.body
We need to stuart relationships from matric to alumnihood
Tahina-agree
Mo- Yes! aligned to the common goals mentioned in TPs post

# data[].attributes.body
one goal/ core value/ motto that is consistent throughout the entire journey

Tahina Absolutely!!!!!
How do we not have this already. Yes! - Meher

# data[].attributes.body
Longer than two year fellowships

# data[].attributes.body
Relationships and support with ALL TFA affiliates in a building (CM and alum)- staff roles not siloed in this way

# data[].attributes.body
5 year (arbitrary #) cohorts (based on IMC career trajectories) and folks that manage the corps and early alumni development according to these paths (similar to a major- in that you do specific devo, but could also change!)

Cohorts would be mix aged.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to have a common goal(s) for each part of the journey.

I'd love to see how this idea develops - v.interesting - Meher
yes- and common messaging- TM

# data[].attributes.body
Self-driven -- we ask each candidate what THEIR expectations are, consider grouping folks that way. Ideal driven over technical groupings.  Maybe an interactive art activity that becomes part of the incoming process as opposed to your typical essay.

Tahina-so important for us to be thinking about what they want

# data[].attributes.body
Roles aren't actually divided by audience- but by what folks DO.  For example- we have coaches that work with a vareity of folks (ICM through Alumni)  We have trainers that design and implement professional development.

Think this has potential to truly re-imagine how we support all our corps members during this participant journey - JB

YESSSSSSSSSSS - Erin

# data[].attributes.body
Every staff member has a portfolio of alumni and CMs that they support, helping them to grow along their leadership  journey

Tahina-yes we need to blow up traditional model of support...and I think we include ICM in there as well.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we re-create and re-imagine how we enroll CMs (from inception) into a regional force of TFA Alum and Supporters and
not lose them as they approach Alumnihood?

Yes! - Meher
