We convene community organizations, educators, and advocates quarterly to set common priorities, measures of success, and shared accountability for Minnesota students. We work together to:
Align coaching organizations across Minnesota
Build equity-centered coaching skill and confidence
Share timely policy, systems, and data updates
Strengthen collaboration and shared metrics
