This year's Alternative Accountability Policy Forum will include six Conversation Sessions to build on our guests' expectations of collaboration and networking with in-house expertise. To ensure the success of this endeavor, Conversation Sessions are led by conveners with recognized national expertise. Conversation sessions reverse the timelines of traditional sessions with a few minutes for context and at least 45 minutes for back and forth among attendees.
We are excited to announce that Utah State Journalism Professor Matt LaPlante and Speak Up Survey developer Julie Evans will host a conversation on how to address the challenge of maintaining contact with graduates of at-risk student schools and programs. The most common accountability question for schools serving "at promise" students is, "What do your students do after they leave you?" But unlike students with stable homes and traditional trajectories, our students can be difficult to follow. Share your strategies and learn from others about how to build long-term engagement for facilitating accountability and sharing success.
