Made by a group of 20 lead organizations with brainstorming response from 350 experts in the national community of practice. The “July 19th Collaboration” offers a list of 39 focused strategies, each of which can be tied to root causes based on research, and pilot programs with results. Together they comprise a systemic effort to change and correct for historical biases and exclusion. Lead contact is National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education (NCWGE) http://www.ncwge.org.
