State Improvement Grant Applications Funded in 2000 Alaska Abstract Basic Information Improvement Strategies Return to Main Page Alaska Abstract or Conceptual Framework for State Systemic Change Based on an extensive needs assessment, the following six goals were identified: Goal 1: Increase the participation of all students, including students with disabilities, in activities related to Alaska's Quality Schools Initiative and other school reform efforts Goal 2: Support the full participation of parents, families, and community members in activities promoting student achievement Goal 3: Develop and sustain effective partnerships with state agencies that provide services affecting students' educational achievement Goal 4: Develop the infrastructure to recruit, train, and retain education professionals Goal 5: Develop the infrastructure to recruit, train, and retain paraeducators Goal 6: Develop an evaluation program to ensure the efficient use of federal, state, and local resources for project activities The QELF project will advocate for full inclusion of students with disabilities in statewide education reform activities by providing training, resources, and technical assistance to school districts, parents, families, communities, and state agencies. The project will also increase cooperation among stakeholders and build the capacity of systemic structures currently in place. Twenty-six organizations representing parents, school districts, school personnel, Alaska Natives and other under-represented groups, state agencies, institutions of higher education, and private employers have signed partnership agreements that identify specific areas of collaboration. These partnerships will enable the QELF project to achieve its goals with a small staff and low administrative overhead. They will also ensure that Alaska's systemic capacity continues to grow after the project's completion.
