Alignment Submits Letter of Intent to the National Campaign for Grade Level Reading

March 18, 2018

The Alignment Collaborative for Education (ACE) is joined by 11 community partners that represent organizations within Elgin, Illinois and the greater School District U-46 community. These 12 partners represent organizations within the community that either have experience with leading collective impact initiatives and/or represent the strongest early-education subject-area expertise within the region.

NCGLR Partnership Organizations:

Alignment Collaborative for Education Illinois Attendance Commission Member
Boys and Girls Club School District U-46
Elgin Community College Two Rivers Head Start
Elgin Partnership for Early Learning United Way of Elgin
Gail Borden Public Library YMCA
Grand Victoria Foundation YWCA

Joining the NCGLR allows the 12 community partners to align around a shared Community Action Plan that addresses early education preparedness as early as birth to age 8. Each partner brings diverse expertise to the initiative varying from a before school age concentration to experience in the completion of elementary school and middle school preparation.

Alignment hosts first industry roundtable

March 13, 2018

Over 70 manufacturers, community leaders and School District U-46 staff participated in Alignment’s first roundtable on March 14, 2018, at the Hoosier Grove Barn in Streamwood.  The purpose of the roundtable was to discuss work-based learning as a priority for manufacturing workforce recruitment.

The event featured panel discussions with manufacturing associations currently practicing work-based learning followed by a panel of senior human resources managers representing some of the largest manufacturing companies within the U-46 community.  The HR professionals discussed the current workforce, ages 18 to 24, identifying their strengths and opportunities for skill gap closure using work-based learning as early as high school.  Thank you to the following panelists for contributing to the success of Alignment’s first industry roundtable:

  • Kathleen Burley, Administrator, Golden Corridor Advanced Manufacturing Partnership
  • Kathy Meisinger, Director, Strategic Partnerships, Elgin Community College
  • Jim Nelson, Vice President of External Affairs, Illinois Manufacturers’ Association
