How do effective coordinating entities move work forward to achieve success?

Most commonly, P-16/P-20 councils create subcommittees based on general areas the council has agreed to move forward on. Subcommittees sometimes select members who are not members of the council at large—these members cannot vote on issues of the larger council, but bring a body of knowledge and expertise specific to the question at hand (so for a teaching quality subcommittee, bringing on faculty from teacher education programs, or members of district/PS teacher preparation programs.) These subcommittees generally meet separately from the council at large, create recommendations on their area of focus, and bring these recommendations to the council at large for discussion and ratification by the whole council.
