However, how states measure that readiness varies widely. Additionally, research tells us that the readiness indicators themselves do not uniformly align or associate with actual postsecondary outcomes. On this NCAN webinar, we’ll hear from two experts and discuss the current landscape of CCMR readiness standards and the evidence around their predictive power.<span data-contrast="auto" xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US" class="TextRun SCXW34128546 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space-collapse: preserve; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">Presenters:<ul><li><span data-contrast="auto" xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US" class="TextRun SCXW34128546 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space-collapse: preserve; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">Kristin Blagg, Principal Research Associate, Urban Institute</li><li><span data-contrast="auto" xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US" class="TextRun SCXW34128546 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; white-space-collapse: preserve; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 17px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;">Anne Hyslop, Director of Policy Development, Alliance for Excellent Education</li></ul>Price:<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #ffffff;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Members: Free</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Non-members: $99.

<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="https://cdn.ymaws.com/collegeaccess.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/policyadvocacy/26_leadership_summit/leadership_summit_26_blog_gr.png" />Building on the success of the National College Attainment Network’s (NCAN) annual Hill Day and Advocacy Training from previous years, we are excited to announce the return of our premier advocacy event and policy convening, the NCAN Leadership Summit, on April 7 and 8, 2026! Join us in Washington, DC, for a unique opportunity to engage in thought leadership with NCAN members from across the country, learn from experts about timely policy topics shaping postsecondary education, and make your voice heard about the issues impacting your students and communities. Register today!Last year, 240 NCAN members and students advocated successfully to protect Pell Grant eligibility, provide funding to stave off a Pell shortfall, and maintain subsidized loans for undergraduate students. Programming on Tuesday, April 7, will be tailored to attendees’ professional background and experience to help every participant grow their impact on policy. Providing a mix of knowledge and skill-building sessions, the event will feature a half-day Executive Leadership Retreat for CEOs and Executive Directors, an introduction to advocacy for newcomers and students, an advanced advocacy training for those looking to deepen their advocacy skill set, and content sessions on the latest trends and biggest ideas related to higher education access and attainment.On Wednesday, April 8, members will take to Capitol Hill to put their new skills into action, make their voices heard, and educate their representatives in the United States House and Senate on time-sensitive and pressing policy issues, like the need for increased funding for Pell Grants and other federal student aid. Register today to secure your spot and take advantage of our early-bird pricing before December 31! Registration is free for high school and college students who participate in NCAN member programs. <div> </div>Please see below for an event overview.
