Chiefs for Change members outline new blueprint for postsecondary success
Recognizing a responsibility to their students that goes beyond high school, members of Chiefs for Change advocate for federal and state requirements to track postsecondary outcomes for individual schools, school districts, colleges, and universities; improved college ranking systems; career and technical education programming tied to high-growth, high-demand fields; and a sustained focus on degree completion and successful transition to meaningful work.

Transforming Career and Technical Education
Members of Chiefs for Change are leading innovative work to strengthen and modernize career and technical education (CTE). Our report, Let’s Get to Work: Learning From Success in Career and Technical Education, describes how states and school districts can—and must—make major improvements to CTE in order to help more students find success in postsecondary education and careers. The report highlights approaches in four systems led by members of our network—Nevada, Tennessee, Denver, and San Antonio—and explains how improving CTE marks an under-recognized front in the battle for equity of educational opportunity.
