Not surprisingly, most of our transformation work with partners begins with efforts to engage stakeholders — either broadly (full community) or more narrowly (a specific school team/community) — in the task of envisioning the future and then co-constructing a broader definition of student success to which future efforts can be anchored. There is no “right” answer, but in our experience, this work is essential, and shortcutting the process usually comes back to bite you.
