The Collaborative Network Zone (CNZ) is a space designed to foster collaboration and coordination among state and regional educational organizations, including institutions of higher education, to design a personalized professional learning system for educators working both in the System Design Zone and the Innovative Learning Design Zone. The Collaborative Network Zone supports development of a statewide professional learning model that helps all educators effectively implement personalized competency-based learning (CBL) for the students they serve. Business leaders are also encouraged to support the work of the Innovation Zones by serving as experts on essential employability skills needed by students and helping educators make connections to Real World Learning opportunities.
