Three Factors to College Success
Does the student have the content knowledge, critical thinking and
research skills, and academic habits to successfully complete
college work without remediation?
Does the student have the
awareness, opportunity, support, and
financing necessary to select and
attend a college that is the “right fit?”
Does the student have the academic and
self-management
skills, resilience, resources, and
institutional support to successfully
navigate and persevere through college?

Hinweis der Redaktion
What has been happening at the district over the last several years (i.e. - College Readiness coaches, Cleveland Goes to College curriculum, Senior Seminar curriculum, etc) that has played into an increased focus on college and career readiness?Portfolio of new and innovative schools were created and are now producing larger numbers of graduates that are prepared for and have access to highly selective colleges across the country. (Students in the last few years have gotten into Harvard, Stanford, MIT and Cornell).Ambition and expectation has been growing but persistence and completion have remained low. (Show CMSD Nation, State and CMSD college going and completion chart).
Based on what was happening at the school district with career and college-readiness and funders increased interest in this area, the district looked at Naviance and decided it was the system/infrastructure piece of the puzzle that could bring all of the work together. As in other district, it could create such efficiencies for counselors, put data at the fingertips of principals and adminstrators and help simplify the multitude of work students and families have to do in the college-going process.Implemented Naviance in the 2011-2012 school year across all district high schools - about 13,000 students, 9-12 had access to it. Created grade-level milestones for each grade to keep kids on track (show graphic of grade level milestones)
Implementation has been as expected with the typical buy-in challanges of any new system. But those that use it, love it. It is becomming more and more the tool we use for more of that case management approach to college search, acceptance and enrollment.
The School district implemented career and college planning software Naviance Succeed last year across all high schools. It is a robust system aimed at assisting students and families with the college search, application and selection process. First year implementation went well and College Now was an integral part of making sure students were utilizing the system regularly. As you can see, usership among juniors and seniors was good but more work needs to be done to make this an expectation for all students. We know that Naviance is a tremendous resource for students, families and guidance counselors. We need to make it more a part of the daily routine for everyone.
Building systems and structures first is important. We asked hard questions of higher education and the school district to find out what was happening with kids after high school. We worked hard to collect and analyze the information we needed to tell the story. Once that was done, we knew where holes/gaps existed that we needed to fill in order to track students’ progression through high school and college. We then purchased software to help us do that and gave everyone access to that tool so that they too could support student success at every level. Quality data and data analysis is critical. Using National Student Clearinghouse data alongside institutional data we were able to track on an individual student level what was happening and where kids were falling out of the pipeline. Building trust and strong relationships is vital. The Compact spent time in the first year convening like partners to grow our relationships with them but also their relationships with one another. We also tried to cross-pollinate institutions that would not necessarily interact with one another but work on different parts of the education pipeline to get students to degree completion. All Compact partners talk about the value they place on the convening and sharing that takes place at meetings. Be comfortable with ambiguity. This network structure of organizations aligning their efforts toward a common goal is challenging and uncomfortable for many. Stick with it and keep in mind the person at the center of all the work is the student.
