Equity Review Process

We proposed reviewing all SOSOSY-developed materials to ensure equity. (See FII 1.10)

“Review all materials using an equity process to eliminate language or procedures that are exclusionary, put out guidelines to ensure equal educational opportunities and affirmative action for OSY, and follow the strategies put forth in the Federal guidance for Section 427 of GEPA”

www.osymigrant.org See the handout in

your packet

Equity Review Process

Convene a panel of migrant educators with knowledge and experience working with and/or administering programs for OSY

2) Panel reviews and rates all SOSOSY-developed materials based on an equity review rubric and recommends changes, as needed

3) SOSOSY-developed materials are revised

“Panel Discussion and Focused Feedback on Strategies and Tools to Include OSY in the State

CNA and SDP."

Panel Focus on SDP

• SOSOSY Performance Measure 3.2: By the end of the project, 80% of consortium states will demonstrate capacity to serve OSY as documented by measurable program outcomes specific to OSY that are included in the state Service Delivery Plan (SDP).

• Expected Outcome: 16+ of 20 states include MPOs to support OSY in states’ SDPs

www.osymigrant.org

Panel Focus on CNA

• SOSOSY Performance Measure 3.3: By the end of the project, 80% of consortium states will demonstrate capacity to serve OSY through the collection of comprehensive needs data that is included in the state Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA).

• Expected Outcome: 16+ of 20 states include data on OSY in their state CNA reports

www.osymigrant.org

Where Are We Now?

Baseline data show:• 8 of 20 states include OSY in their SDPs• 7 of 20 states include data on OSY in their

CNAs• We have a ways to go to meet the goal!

www.osymigrant.org

Panel Question #1

One of the objectives of SOSOSY is to provide systems and supports for including OSY as states collect data for their Comprehensive Needs Assessment. • How has your state structured its CNA to

include OSY? What specific data on OSY do you collect and report in the CNA?

www.osymigrant.org

Panel Question #2

Another objective of SOSOSY is to provide systems and supports to states for including OSY as states develop their statewide Service Delivery Plan. • How has your state structured its SDP to

include OSY? • What MPOs and solution strategies does

your state have in its SDP that specifically address OSY?

www.osymigrant.org

Panel Question #3

• What advice do you have for states that currently are updating their CNAs and SDPs?

www.osymigrant.org

Mentoring Pilot

• Overview of mentoring and process used to develop the mentoring tools

• Reaction from pilot state- • Snapshot tool

Mentoring– The State’s Perspective

Our mentoring session was very productive and useful. The mentors were very professional and helpful. Our meeting began with the mentors asking us some questions about our state and our out of school youth population. They also asked questions about where we wanted to go with the population. We shared our thoughts about getting focusing more on the out of school youth. Each of the mentors shared how their state does certain things regarding the out of school youth. They also shared problems they had encountered along the way and possible solutions for things we might encounter. They brain stormed with ideas we had on state wide activities focusing on out of school youth. Each of them made it clear if we had any questions that they were available to help us. What I appreciated the most was that the mentors did not tell us what to do but rather made suggestions and listened to what we had to say. We would certainly not mind if they were to come again to work with us. It was a very pleasant, positive, nonthreatening experience.

State Snapshot Tool

Why was this tool developed? How will information be used? What will be shared with mentoring states and others? – Way to collect information about what states are

doing – Build models to share how states are supporting

OSY– Connect and network states who may have specific

needs– Refine our technical assistance capabilities
