Recently, the appointees to Colorado's Education Leadership Council (P-20 council created by Governor Hickenlooper earlier this year) were announced. It is encouraging that the council includes the representation that ECS has found is correlated with a council's ability to move a P-20 agenda forward--legislators, the governor's office (here in the form of Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia, who will chair the council), business, and two early learning representatives, in addition to the K-12 and postsecondary leaders and practitioners normally found on P-20 councils.
The council's first meeting is September 20th. This blogger is looking forward to seeing the areas of work the council establishes for itself, and hopes the council's work gains as much traction as did the work of the most recent council created by former Governor Ritter.
