AEA PREP is excited to host a 2-day workshop for district teams
in partnership with the National Postsecondary Strategy Institute (NPSI)
from Chicago, to be held at Des Moines Area Community College on
September 23 & 24, 2019. The goal of this workshop is to help school
districts develop their internal capacity to support every student
toward attaining a successful postsecondary pathway. This will be done
through a hands-on, action-oriented workshop focused on the integration
of three critical components: a district postsecondary framework and
strategy; a data strategy; and engagement of school counselors as
leaders. Up to 27 district teams (~3 per AEA) will be selected from
across the state following the application period (May 3 - May 31).
NPSI
is led by Greg Darneider, Dr. Joyce Brown, and Kelly Sparks. Mr.
Darneider served as Senior Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Education on
the College Access Initiative, serving under President Obama's 2020
Goal and was the U.S. Department of Education representative on First
Lady Michelle Obama's Reach Higher Initiative. Dr. Brown is president
of Joyce V. Brown Consulting, a group of expert practitioner counselor
leaders who specialize in training and coaching counselors and
non-profit organizations working on the front lines of schools. Dr.
Brown also provided technical support and served as a consultant to
Reach Higher. Ms. Sparks is CEO of Maple Grove Objective, which helps
organizations strategically use data to improve outcomes for youth and
communities. She has over 20 years of experience in education, and is a
national expert and innovator in data strategy.
