Networked Improvement Communities
Regional Achievement Collaborative
The purpose of the Mid-Valley Mid-Coast Achievement Collaborative is to make the substantive change needed to achieve the goals of 40-40-20. We also outline specific elements of our proposed work with a beginning focus on mathematics instruction, leading to the inclusion of science, engineering and technology in Career Technical Education (CTE) courses and finally to all subjects. We intend this document to be the base for beginning the necessary work for raising student achievement from elementary to beginning college, regardless of the funding source.

Through the professional networks of its members this work has broad implications for the State of Oregon as well as the nation. The following elaborations on each idea are the beginnings of working documents that will evolve from the collective thinking, experience, and creativity of the group.
