Here's a posting from Curt Green in Atlanta on possible next steps:

Suggestions:
1. Frequent communication between participants. Perhaps a teleconference in the
fall (Oct or Nov).
2. Continue to provide a forum(gathering) for leaders to share "promising
practices" within the network and abroad. Atlanta willing to serve host to the
2nd Annual Gathering of Leaders.
3. Create a name/signature/identity for the network with an organizational
structure, governing board and criteria for membership.
4. Establish a contact list accessible to all participants and others interested
in our work.
5. Establish a National partnerships with other foundations interested in
serving our needs i.e., financial resources, professional development etc..
6. Encourage teacher participation for professional development purposes with
the opportunity to earn graduate credits or service learning credits.
7. Create a website dedicated to our network and showcase the success stories.
