Making Schools Work
State Consortium Membership Levels
The Making Schools Work state consortium focuses on improving the career and college readiness of students in each member state. Consortium membership provides states with three different levels of support:
- Support for state-identified schools with an emphasis on building capacity to sustain improvement*
- Statewide discounts on SREB curricular products and tools
- Networking and collaboration opportunities through our MSW Advisory Council and at our annual Fall Leaders Forum, TCTW Leaders Forum and Making Schools Work Conference
* New! States may bundle their school improvement supports to address their unique needs, such as by providing special support to a challenged school or district, or by taking a statewide approach. For example:
- Alabama worked with SREB to develop a statewide plans of instruction template and facilitated the identification of embedded academic credit in CTE courses.
- To guide Georgia’s statewide professional learning, SREB helped develop a profile of a CTAE graduate and profiles of CTAE teachers, CTAE counselors and CTAE leaders.
- SREB helped Oklahoma facilitate virtual workshops on recruitment and success for non-traditional CTE students. SREB also facilitated Oklahoma’s statewide virtual learning conference, an area of need many states and districts face given the challenges of addressing unfinished learning.
