Overview • Phase 1 – focuses on the economic and educational returns to the participants against comparison groups • Phase 2 – proposes to focus on such questions as: • Measuring the ROI to the state and broader community such as lowering need for Medicaid or other public assistance • How/if CPI is affecting educational outcomes for children of participants? • Is there any correlation between financial supports and student success? • Are CPI students more successful in Developmental Education than their peers at community colleges?
Overview • Phase 3 – will focus on reporting project outcomes and making policy recommendations to federal, state and local policymakers and college leaders and will include an advocacy campaign to a national and statewide audience including a policy summit inviting other teams of educators and state policymakers to Arkansas to learn more about the Career Pathways Initiative.
