Focus Groups
To garner input from a variety of stakeholders, including community members, educators (i.e., administrators, curriculum coordinators, teachers), parents, and students.
This committee will organize five (5) regional focus groups at local high schools, determine the protocol for each focus group, and conduct analysis of themes to inform course development.
Virtual Focus Groups coming soon!
