The Reform Support Network (RSN) encourages State education agencies (SEAs) to assess their current efforts to communicate with and engage key audiences and look for ways to sharpen approaches, build capacity and extend reach. The Stakeholder Communications and Engagement Community of Practice (SCE CoP) is developing resources to encourage State leaders to strengthen their work in several areas. To start with, the CoP is helping States craft a strategy with specific goals, define internal and external audiences, and create clear and compelling messages. Those messages, in turn, will require a variety of tactics -- from face-to-face meetings to social media -- to reach their audiences. States can expand their reach by working in coalitions and with partners. In the process, States might need to build staff capacity to do this work. Finally, the CoP is urging States to measure everything and use their data to adjust course as needed. The communications and engagement framework in this report provides a way for SEAs to think about and implement these priorities. The concepts discussed in this framework overlap significantly with "Engaging Educators: A Reform Support Network Guide for States and Districts" (ED611481) which focused on the need to engage one key set of stakeholders: teachers and other educators.
