Turning Vision into Action for Washington’s Students

Our logic model shows how we move from strategy to effective, measurable change.

On a typical school day, a student in Washington is navigating more than just their classes.

They might be managing anxiety without consistent access to mental health support, like the more than six in ten Washington 10^th graders who report feeling anxious or nervous. They might be navigating their school year in a non-home language, like the 160,000 Washington students who are multilingual learners, or, like the 170,000 students with disabilities, trying to make their way through a system that wasn’t designed for them. They might be trying to stay engaged while moving between systems that don’t always connect, resulting in just 77% of youth from low-income households graduating on time, and only 31% of all Washington high school graduates attaining a post-secondary credential by age 26.

They might also have ideas about what would make school more relevant and about how to make the system easier and more effective, but they don’t always have a clear way to be heard.

This logic model is about connecting our collective work so that we are coordinated and aligned across Washington – from students to decision-makers – to drive positive change across our public education system. Read More
