Strategic Initiative 8: Expand our outreach activities for teachers and students throughout North Carolina and beyond.
The focus of this strategy is to organize, coordinate and expand our outreach activities throughout the state. During the first year of implementation current outreach activities will be inventoried with the goal of better aligning our outreach efforts with the needs identified by school districts and the outcomes universities and business are expecting from students across the state. Other results in the strategy focus on establishing clear goals, objectives and metrics for measuring the success of our outreach programs. We will also establish a model for developing partnerships with institutions throughout the state in order to more effectively serve students and teachers. The Partnership Model will establish a basis for establishing partnerships with institutions we are serving, as well as institutions we are partnering with to provide outreach services. The model will establish criteria, processes and expected outcomes for working with partner institutions in our outreach efforts.
