Many times we attend meetings or conferences where although the ideas are great, it's not relatable to our situation.
I think collaboration is CRUCIAL, but the pilot schools have to identify with the participants.

Partner districts of similar size to act as their pilot partner along with a mentor from the program. Regular scheduled times for communication feedback on the process.

I think we must find ways to make the collection time efficient! They may already be stretching to implement, if they have to also write lengthy reports it could be a turn-off. Maybe take a product oriented approach (share a sample meeting agenda, share a document you made, make us a video, set up a phone interview with a trainer/mentor)

For Dallas,  we already bring  together 57 high schools  (about half of those in the county) on a quarterly basis  as a large group + meet 1:1 with them monthly. This could be incorporated into the time we already have with them gathered together and fits naturally  into our work. If there was a feedback "toolkit" we could each deploy this in our region and then report  back up to this group.

Tap into existing meetings
Host a first meeting to ensure everyone understands the type of feedback you are looking to gather; then allow participants to provide feedback remotely

Two fronts here - (1) focus on collecting, vetting, and organizing  current resources at the national and state levels in a central place.  CollegeforAll serves this purposes somewhat but it needs to be updated. (2) building out additional resources as we find gaps.

Collaboration is key. I hear that from districts all the time...they would love to have to time to collaborate with others to talk about successes and challenges and share ideas and suggestions

Virtual focus groups could gather information- and it will be helpful to see that that are different experiences across participants- that can help ensure the EAF is flexible enough to support all campuses/districts

It is vital to bring pilot participants together for collaboration and feedback with each other. Having a monthly zoom, providing a contact list with e-mails/phone #'s of all of the pilot districts to all of the pilot participants would be awesome so they can collaborate on their own.

Advising means students are successfully finding their path. Doesn't that reflect in CCMR and TAPR???

# data[].attributes.body
Also, poll the group to see if it's possible to setup some standing Zoom chat session among various districts and regions

# data[].attributes.body
There are lots of organizations with great information- how can we curate this so the information is utilized by all stakeholders- what type of marketing could be applied to help the culture of advising be shifted?

# data[].attributes.body
Regular communication out that highlights work being done in pilot areas. And also holding some semi-regular sessions with the pilot participants - give time for the districts to be paired together to share out their work for feedback from their peers.

Any thoughts about creating a recognition structure? "badging" press releases, school board commendations (pretty certificates)

I echo the need to have like districts meet.  I'm in a collaboration across the country of large urban districts and the conversations we have are extremely fruitful.  We're discussing pricing right now on college access platforms.  I would love to collaborate more with large urban districts across the state.  I'd also like to collaborate with smaller real districts.  I think we have focused meetings when we bring like or unlike groups together.

Many districts piloted the ESF and some have taken it district wide now. Since there is already an understanding of the framework district down approach these might be a good place to start.

Possibly having an open virtual platform with the resources from the EAF listed and allowing comments from participants.
