Gila Regional Partnership Council Gila Regional Partnership Council Strategic Plan 2019 – 2022 Update State Fiscal Year 2021 Funding Plan Presented to the First Things First Board January 13 - 14, 2020 Vision All Arizona’s children are ready to succeed in school and in life. Mission First Things First is one of the critical partners in creating a family-centered, comprehensive, collaborative and high-quality early childhood system that supports the development, health and early education of all Arizona’s children birth to age 5. Regional Partnership Councils First Things First’s statewide Board and its 28 regional partnership councils share the responsibility of ensuring that early childhood funds are invested in strategies aimed at improving educational and health outcomes for young children. Regional partnership councils identify the unique needs of their communities and decide how to best support young children and families in their areas. Regional councils, comprised of local volunteers, provide vision and leadership, governance and oversight. They identify, implement and fund strategies and build collaborations aimed at helping young children across Arizona succeed in school and life. Gila Regional Partnership Council Fernando Shipley, Chair, business representative Sherry Dorathy, Vice Chair, school administrator representative Debby Bunney, at-large representative Jeri Byrne, faith representative Debbie Leverance, educator representative Audrey Opitz, philanthropy representative Charles Proudfoot, at-large representative Melissa Ruff, parent representative Tashina Smith, tribal representative Kristin Wade, health representative open, child care provider representative Carolyn Haro, Regional Director, First Things First Gila Regional Partnership Council Strategic Plan Update and SFY21 Funding Plan Page | 2 Gila Regional Partnership Council Strategic Plan Update FAMILY SUPPORT The Gila Regional Partnership Council focuses on family support and literacy given the number of children living in poverty who are at risk, the high percentage of children living with a single parent and the growing number of grandparents raising grandchildren. The approach for providing family support is to offer quality parenting education that fits their needs, while increasing their knowledge and experience using an emerging evidence-based parenting education curriculum. The regional council supports literacy by distributing books, building home libraries and sponsoring literacy-focused events. Literacy awareness is advanced by connecting families to their local libraries for story times and family activities. In addition, the regional council continues to explore opportunities to collaborate with other organizations who work with the pre-parent population to provide learning opportunities regarding the importance of early childhood. Successes Through its parenting education contract, Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services (TOPS) and its partner Arizona Youth Partnership (AZYP) continue to improve knowledge of parenting practices and child development among parents and caregivers in the region. During the past year, the two organizations merged into one entity, Arizona Youth Partnership, and the contract was successfully and seamlessly modified with no lapse in service to the region. To families, the only thing that changed was the name of the organization and program (“Starting Out Right”). All staff members were absorbed by AZYP to provide continued service delivery. This program is part of a broader system of parenting education resources in the region. AZYP also provides, as part of another contract, prenatal education. After receiving such prenatal services, a parent can transition into the FTF-sponsored Starting Out Right program and later transition to another parenting education opportunity for families with children ages 5-17 through a partnership between the Gila County Department of Health, University of Arizona Cooperative Extension and AZYP. These organizations have collaborated to provide a continuum of parenting education opportunities within the community. In SFY19, 108 parents and other caregivers participated in trainings designed to improve knowledge of parenting practices and children’s development. The region continues to engage in a variety of successful literacy-based efforts. Renewal of the contract for the Parenting Outreach and Awareness Strategy with grant partner Gila County Library District has resulted in books being provided to families with children birth to 5, encouraging parent-child interaction and early literacy. This grant partner’s creativity in strategically employing two seasonal, part-time outreach specialists during peak periods of activity when an array of family-focused community events occur enabled growth in the number of children receiving books, with 17,062 books provided to families in SFY19. Two outreach events also provided books through collaboration with the community. In the northern part of the region, the Payson Book Festival now boasts a Kid’s Zone that highlights stories by local preschools and after-school programs, storytimes and a puppet theater. There was also an increase in the number of children’s book writers present at the event. In the southern part of the region, a literacy event originally inspired through a First Things First grant and Read On Arizona has grown to a community-wide literacy event. Globe/Miami Read On Express now has over 1500 participants attending from the Gila Region, other Arizona communities and other states. These are two examples of over 30 literacy event opportunities that exist within the region. Gila Regional Partnership Council Strategic Plan Update and SFY21 Funding Plan Page | 3 The Gila Region is achieving strong connections among a variety of community organizations. Regional council member and FTF staff involvement in the Payson Interagency meeting and the Southern Gila County Network Team has resulted in the introduction of informational topics such as Adverse Childhood Experiences and sharing of FTF and other regional resources. Community partnerships with government, business, education and social service organizations have also evolved and grown in the southern part of the region. Most recently, during the development of the Cobre Valley Collaborative’s 2019-2022 plan, three topics emerged through a community-wide economic development survey to be the most important topics for improvement. These were education, housing and recreation and all included an early childhood focus into their planning. For example, such plans include ensuring a splash pad is included in the current aquatic center plans, increasing the availability of family housing and improving the accessibility for strollers in walking paths. In the education plan, an actual goal to increase pre-K screening and kindergarten preparation was incorporated. Through these discussions, the community also has plans to re-establish an early childhood collaborative. Community connections have sparked ideas and consideration of the youngest residents in planning for the future through economic development, community infrastructure, health systems and education systems. The Gila Region also successfully held a regional tribal consultation with the Tonto Apache Tribe leadership during the past year to better understand the strengths, needs and desires of the tribal community. The partnership between FTF and tribal leadership is an important part of future collaborative opportunities and the region looks forward to further discussion with the Tonto Apache Tribe. Challenges Resource availability, space and distance will continue to be a challenge in the Gila Region, simply due to geography and size. The regional council has set the expectation that all communities within the region be reasonably served and works to remove any potential barriers to service provision. In the small, remote areas of the region, general health services may only be available one day per week, emergency services may only be available during certain hours, public transportation does not exist, the community may not have a grocery store or pharmacy, and social service resources may only be available in Globe or Payson, which can be up to a two hour drive depending on the weather and road conditions. Reaching families in very remote areas to provide family support is a challenge when the community infrastructure simply does not exist. The number of potential participants, funding for services, telecommunication infrastructure and availability of service providers continue to be barriers for these remote non-incorporated communities. Remote technology for available resources could be helpful to communities such as these. HEALTH The Gila Regional Partnership Council recognizes the need to improve the local health system and access to primary and specialty health services for young children in the Gila Region. Insight and focus toward addressing the needs of children birth to 5 are provided by staff and the regional council. Together, both act as the voice for young children in a community-wide effort to enhance the health care system. Regional council members, staff and grant partners have worked together to engage with local hospital systems, the local health department, medical and dental providers, and the Eastern Arizona Health Education Center. Members also serve on hospital governing boards, participate in the Community Health Improvement Plan or Community Health Assessment, or have developed personal connections to health system providers, providing

INSTITUTION Yavapai Coll., Prescott, AZ. PUB DATE 2003-05-00 NOTE 257p.; Prepared by the Office of Instruction. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC11 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Community Colleges; Educational Research; Graduate Surveys; School Statistics; *School Surveys; Schools; Student Attitudes; *Student Characteristics; Student Surveys; *Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS *Yavapai College AZ ABSTRACT The Yavapai College Districts Board and members of Yavapai College administration and staff developed this report. It contains 12 statements that compromise the core outcomes of the Yavapai College Mission. The extent to which each college addresses these outcomes is then reflected in a series of indicators that are tied to the individual Community Benefits Statements (CBS). Some of the major CBS are student satisfaction, graduate satisfaction with preparation for transfer and preparation for career development, access to benefits of partnership, and the capacity to access information, expertise, technology assistance, and resources needed to be competitive in a global economy. Some of the major findings of the study are as follows:(1) over three fourths of Yavapai College students were satisfied or very satisfied with how well they were prepared for transfer;(2) the number of occupational degrees awarded has decreased; and (3) students expressed high satisfaction with college services. The study concludes that more detailed studies centered on any of the indicators and CBS would be beneficial to aid in better understanding the college's achievement, the achievement of individual programs, and creating specific subsequent action plans.
