Researchers from Stanford’s Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) have developed a summary of proceedings from the 2016 Alternative Accountability Policy Forum. Drs. Jorge Ruiz de Velasco and Daisy Gonzalez attended the event and captured the energy and expertise of the participants at the October 2016 event in San Diego. Both Drs. Gonzales and Ruiz de Velasco brought their expertise on serving disadvantaged communities and their ability to gracefully interact with our participants and to elegantly summarize the sessions and policy recommendations that came from the panelists.
The 2016 AAPF was the 5th annual meeting of leaders from across the country who focus on practices and policies for supporting “at promise” youth.
The report describes the event, provides summaries of each of the 26 sessions and 47 presenters, and includes 10 recommendations for policy and practice to serve opportunity youth and other critically at risk students.
Among the policy recommendations:
