Public Agenda helps communities and the nation
solve tough problems through:
Research that illuminates people's views & values;
Engagement that gets people talking, learning from each other and working together on solutions; and
Communications that spreads the word and builds momentum for change.
By doing so, we seek to contribute to a democracy in which problem-solving triumphs over gridlock and inertia, and where public policy reflects the deliberations and values of the citizenry.
Public Agenda is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. You can find out more about us in our What We Do and Frequently Asked Questions pages.
The High Stakes of Stakeholder Engagement: A Plea for Careful Planning from Public Agenda
This post was written for the 20 community colleges participating in Completion by Design, a five-year Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation initiative that aims to significantly increase completion rates for low-income students under 26. As a “National Assistance partner” for Completion by Design, Public Agenda provides direct assistance to the colleges to help them build capacity for solutions-oriented dialogue among faculty, staff and administration. Here, Public Agenda's Alison Kadlec discusses best practices for authentic internal stakeholder engagement. While the post is geared toward Completion by Design planning teams, the principles are useful for any authentic engagement process.

No one ever took MY vote for this study. Nor apparently, anyone's I know. Everyone I know is in favor of prohibiting illigal immigrant children from attending U.S. schools. ESPECIALLY now.
I do NOT want illegal immigrants in our schools. My son has already suffered for this monstrosity of justice and equality.
I think you are being selfish, of course that the fact that your kid had got hurt in a fight with one of those kids, makes you want to exterminate them, but it doesnt mean that just´because your kid was in trouble, a million of people will be rounding without sense of life in your country, is about fin a solution, because clearly a stronger policy is not enough,
some day you will found out that it's totally worth it. and hey! when they become adults, somehow they will be American as well, and they will have to contribute with your country.
So try to see it from another perspective, in not all about whims of one person.
