| Summary: | The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires state education agencies (SEAs) to collaborate with school districts, civil rights organizations, principals, teachers, "other school leaders," parents, and "stakeholders representing the interests of children with disabilities, English language learners, and other vulnerable children" as they create state education plans. Although each state faces unique challenges, all face five common challenges in engaging this extensive list of stakeholders: identifying diverse stakeholders and casting a wider net, overcoming time and resource constraints, communicating effectively with stakeholders, maximizing the impact of meetings, and organizing and incorporating feedback into the state plan. The authors set forward to study promising practices in stakeholder engagement. They wanted to determine what challenges states were facing and how states were addressing those challenges. They began the project by analyzing 51 SEA websites for evidence of engagement with stakeholder groups. They follow up with interviews with representatives from 15 SEAs in order to hear their perspectives on the challenges and learn from the states' early successes. |
