The U.S. Department of Education’s Effective Educator Development (EED) Division recently hosted a special Powered by Teach to Lead event, called Reimagining Our Investments for Strengthening Educator Effectiveness. R5CC staff served as a Critical Friend (thought partner) and team member with the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE). To participate in the event, WVDE submitted an application that included a title, topic, problem of practice, root cause, and draft strategies and outcomes. Over the course of 3 days, R5CC staff used their subject-matter expertise in Grow Your Own (GYO) programs to facilitate sessions on logic model development and refinement with the WVDE leadership team. WVDE left the event with an implementation-ready logic model focused on GYO, and a refined framework for their project, including strategies and specific activities, which was strengthened by the Critical Friend conversations facilitated by R5CC staff.
