This guide is intended to help states assess the engagement strategies used during the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) development stage, identify the ones to sustain or refine, and develop a long-term plan that will continue to create opportunities for stakeholders to be heard on this and other education issues. The guidance in this document builds off of resources previously published by CCSSO on stakeholder engagement, including "Let's Get this Conversation Started," and "Let's Keep this Conversation Going." Both guides highlighted the 10 key principles for effective engagement, which will continue to be relevant as states turn their focus to long-term efforts; this guide will focus specifically on the 10th and final principle: Turn these new connections into long-term relationships. [For "Let's Get This Conversation Started: Steps Every State Should Take to Map out Its ESSA Engagement Strategy," see ED597957. For "Let's Keep This Conversation Going: Steps to Ensure That Stakeholders Get Engaged and Stay Engaged through the ESSA Development Process and Beyond," see ED597959.
