| 结论 |
- The Big Lift community leaders and partners participated in research activities such as interviews, focus groups, and a survey to better understand how members are engaging in the collective impact strategy and the activity pillars are being implemented.
- Members of the Big Lift indicated that the initiative shares a common vision and purpose, and the environment in San Mateo County, California, is supportive and well suited for the level of collaboration needed to successfully implement a collective impact effort.
- Community leaders and partners were proud that the initiative was launched and pillar activities were occurring. Necessary organizations and key partners within and across school districts were mentioned as being in place to help achieve the common goal of raising third grade reading scores.
- As with any complex initiative, challenges exist. Community leaders and partners mentioned issues with communication, attracting and retaining a quality teaching workforce, and turnover among key members of the collaborative.
- Another challenge surfaced by research participants was the large workload necessary to keep up with increased data collection. However, local partners did note they appreciated the data support they received from community leaders.
- Financial sustainability of the initiative was the most frequently cited concern for the Big Lift community leaders and partners. Possible avenues to gain further financial support were noted to be engaging local businesses and involving legislators.

| 摘要 |
- Several key informants noted that the initiative could benefit from a director, and other findings regarding initiative structure and communication support this recommendation.
- Placing emphasis on filling key designated staff roles across the initiative would benefit the work of the initiative and build capacity — especially at a local level.
- A long-term funding strategy will be essential to the longevity and efficacy of the Big Lift initiative.
- The Big Lift should set up and share a central repository of key information that collaborative partners can access.
- The backbone infrastructure should be clear and transparent about which elements of each pillar are nonnegotiable components of Big Lift participation and which elements are open to local flexibility and tailoring.
- The Big Lift could benefit from better articulating a policy on admitting and (as applicable) supporting special needs and English-language learning students into its programs and ensuring that there is adequate staff, training, and supports in place to accommodate that policy.
