Collaborative efforts between school districts and higher education institutions to address access, retention, and achievement issues for underrepresented students have grown in recent years.Yet many of these university or school district—led efforts possess limited understanding of the community context for systemic change, and engage community stakeholders in limited ways.This article illuminates a national initiative’s efforts to develop local partnerships led by community organizations to influence systemic change in K-12 and higher education institutions around postsecondary access and success.
Esfuerzos colaborativos entre distritos escolares e instituciones de educación superior enfocados en asuntos de acceso, retención y aprovechamiento de estudiantes de baja representación han crecido en años recientes. Sin embargo, muchos de estos esfuerzos dirigidos por universidades o distritos escolares poseen un entendimiento limitado del contexto cultural de cambio sistémico, y tienen limitado compromiso de los líderes comunitarios. Este artículo ilumina los esfuerzos de una iniciativa nacional para desarrollar asociaciones locales dirigidas por organizaciones comunitarias para influenciar cambio sistémico en Preescolar-Preparatoria e instituciones de educación superior sobre acceso y éxito universitario.
