Public Policy & Advocacy

Our public education and advocacy initiatives seek to bring broad attention to issues of access, quality, and learner progression and transitions. We engage policymakers, government agencies, funders, industry leaders, and other key stakeholders to promote policies to sustain effective practices and spur greater effort at policy and institutional innovations and collaborations. We will post our Issue Papers on this page as they are completed.

• Economic Case for Literacy, the first of our issue papers (2011)
• UPDATED Economic Case for Literacy (2020)
• Transition Services (2012)
• Accountability
• Cuyahoga County’s Literacy Crisis, the follow up to our first paper (2019)

• Our 2020 Policy Agenda.
