'''Hive Chicago Success:''' | |||
Hive Chicago measures its success not only by the number of members collaborating on community projects but its goals for its members and participants: | |||
'''Goal 1: Equitable Access: Enable equitable access to Hive Chicago opportunities by extending the network’s reach beyond the youth we currently serve.''' | |||
* Define what is equitable access and participation for youth across the Network | |||
* Establish clear targets for youth participation in Hive-funded and non-Hive funded programs, using CPS demographics as a proxy for the target population of Chicago teens we hope to serve | |||
* Increase visibility and accessibility of Hive programs for these youth and for educators who serve them | |||
* Increase and diversify participation in Hive programs for target youth | |||
* Nurture a youth-facing, peer-to-peer community across the Network | |||
'''Goal 2: Learning Pathways: Cultivate and illuminate network connections to create learning pathways.''' | |||
* Establish a network of linkable connected learning experiences | |||
* Develop “connectors” that enable youth to connect each learning experience to the next across otherwise separate learning spaces | |||
* Cultivate organizational awareness, relationships, and capacity to activate and sustain learning pathways among Hive members and beyond the Network | |||
* Increase youth and educator awareness of learning pathways | |||
* Increase youth participation in learning pathways | |||
''' | |||
'''Goal 3: Sustained Innovation: Spark and sustain innovation in learning.'''''' | |||
* Establish a compelling case for innovation, which we define as (a) connected learning, (b) novel solutions to old problems (c) creative solutions to new problems, and (d) leveraging unlikely partnerships | |||
* Cultivate the connections and understanding that make the Network fertile for innovation | |||
* Spark innovation, sustain innovation | |||
* Study and spread successful practices (Research, Evaluation, Dissemination) | |||

* Demonstrate relevance of our goals and principles in broader conversations | |||

* Ensure that Hive partnerships have reciprocal benefits | |||
'''Member Engagement:''' | |||
Hive Chicago utilizes a similar platform of other Hives of monthly community meetups and community calls. Unique to the city is that it also incorporates the use of Moonshots. A Moonshot is a call to action; something seemingly impossible to achieve, but at the same time concretely imaginable and immediately actionable. For Hive Chicago, Moonshots describe where members can make collective progress towards shared goals. - See more at: http://hivechicago.org/moonshots/#sthash.w8agQFHP.dpuf | |||
The Moonshot process allows groups of Hive Chicago members to work towards creating seed solutions toward issues in education. In this way, the Network empowers members to be the catalysts for change. The efforts in Moonshot groups connect to larger network projects and initiatives. | |||
In 2015, the Network launched an event, similar to a hackday to invite key city stakeholders to engage in the work of Moonshots. See more about how this event worked to transform the learning landcape by visiting: [http://www.hivechicagobuzz.org www.hivechicagobuzz.org] | |||
