The Theory of Action is built on four principles:Engage the community | Work with a broad array of community voices to create unified education strategies and solutions.Focus on eliminating locally defined disparities | Use local data to identify inequalities in student achievement and prioritize efforts to improve student outcomes.Develop a culture of continuous improvement | Use local data, community expertise and national research to identify areas for constant, disciplined improvement.Leverage existing assets | Build on and align existing community resources to maximize impact of the work.

WHAT IS A COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORK?

8/15/2016 20

• Data is put to work in Collaborative Action Networks (CANs) — the engine behind collective impact. • A CAN is a group of people comprised of experts, practitioners, and providers who convene around a

specific educational outcome and indicator. • The CAN is intended to serve as a learning community for network members who identify and share best

practices, develop local solutions, and commit to engaging in continuous improvement processes within their own programs, institutions, and the CAN.

WHAT IS A COLLABORATIVE ACTION NETWORK?

8/15/2016 21

• This group will collectively create a charter, or a document that describes how the members will work together and hold each other accountable to shared measurements and action and the Geneva 2020 partnership as a whole.

• Following the charter, an action plan that is informed by local data, local expertise, and national research is created and implemented. The plan will be monitored and improved over time using data and continuous improvement. The process of collaborative action is shown in the diagram to the right.
