Collective Impact and the New Generation of Cross-Sector Collaborations for Education: A Nationwide Scan
We have benefited from the assistance of many others as we conceptualized, researched, and drafted the research reported here. The Wallace Foundation provided the impetus and financial support for this work. Though each of us had engaged in work on issues relating to collective engagement around education reform, none of the authors had more than the sketchiest of knowledge about the contemporary collective impact movement until we began preliminary discussions with Wallace representatives. In the truest of senses, without their curiosity and desire to understand the phenomenon better, this study would never have come about. Just as important, individuals at the foundation have provided valuable ideas and a critical sounding board as we have proceeded. We are grateful for this opportunity to work with our research and evaluation officer, Hilary Rhodes, as well as with Edward Pauly, Claudia DeMegret, Lucas Held, and many others at the foundation.
We also want to acknowledge the graduate research assistants who have constituted our support team and who contribute in many ways on an ongoing basis. Julia Loonin did important work on the scan of organizational websites before she completed her master's degree in education policy and graduated from the team. Three doctoral students from the Department of Education Policy and Social Analysis at Teachers College joined the team after most of the research for this report was well underway, but they have provided ideas and support during its writing and are playing major roles in the field study research that will be the focus of our future publications. They are Melissa Arnold, Constance Clark, and Iris Hemmerich.
All errors and omissions are, of course, the full responsibility of the authors.
