MEETING OVERVIEW
Nearly 100 individuals from 12 states, 16 districts, 17 business non-profits, 8 higher education institutions and the technology sector convened in Baltimore, MD May 1 – 2, 2017 to share ideas and progress. During this convening, the PAS vision statement was finalized. Innovation leaders from the higher education sector shared strategies for re-organizing institutions to support students; innovation leaders from the K-12 sector shared conceptualization, strategies and practices for designing and implementing indicator and response systems. Participants agreed that workgroups would be activated as a strategy to further define and refine these ideas into a framework of national recommendations for a next generation of indicator and response systems, and a companion Resource Guide. Development of criteria for quality and structure is an essential part of this work in a field which has evolved organically over the last 10 years.

GOALS
Goals for the PAS Meeting
- Learn from each other within and across K-12 and postsecondary boundaries
- Sharpen the PAS focus: ~ What are the top priority human and technical challenges and opportunities for improving youth’s transition into successful adulthood? ~ What can be accomplished through wise use of indicator and response systems? ~ What is possible with data and what will be possible in the future? ~ Is it time to augment the ABCs (attendance, behavior, course-passing/credit accrual) that have been frequently used within the grades 6-12 sector? If so, how? ~ Develop response systems beyond programs
- Consider, question, help shape, and commit to PAS long-term (three-year) action strategies
