Bellwether
"Pathways to Implementation" highlights innovative strategies and effective models in career pathways policy, implementation, and programming, as well as challenges states encounter in this work. This seven-part series addresses the key elements of Bellwether's framework for career pathways policy implementation. Each brief defines the key framework element, articulates common challenges to state implementation, provides examples of successful state action, and concludes with considerations for state leaders and policymakers. This seventh brief discusses Continuous Improvement: how required reporting is only the first step in the data journey; effective programs ensure that gathered data is used for continuous program improvement, including adjustments to smooth out implementation.
