knowing what they know today about the expectations of college/the work world – they would have taken more challenging courses in at least one area. (Achieve, Inc., 2005, Rising to the Challenge: Are High School Graduates Prepared for College and Work?)
Dropping out of high school is not a sudden act, but a gradual process of disengagement. Participants in (dropout survey) focus groups recounted that some of their best days were when their teachers noticed them, got them involved in class, and told them they were doing well. (The Silent Epidemic: Perspectives of High School Dropouts, Gates Foundation, 2006)
A systemic, systematic method of delivery wherein an entire student population (grades 6-12) is assigned, in small groups, to a trained, caring adult advisor who both advocates for his or her advisees and facilitates sessions focused on:
the help that some students need to overcome personal and social problems that interfere with learning.
the help that ALL students need from parents, teachers, counselors and others to assist with educational and career development and planning.
How can Charting For Success help us promote postsecondary learning, and what will it take to implement this curriculum effectively?
Our students’ best chance for obtaining marketable skills is pursuing postsecondary training to prepare them for the globally competitive career market.
We must also help students realize this and create a plan of action for them to obtain postsecondary training, which includes technical, 2-year and 4-year college.
“Students who link expectation that college degree is essential to their desired career are six times more likely to matriculate.” (Reclaiming the American Dream, 2006)
Background information and material to equip teachers to successfully and comfortably advise students
Two modules are available: 101 is for underclassmen (9th-10th) and 102 is for upperclassmen (11th-12th)
Lessons are designed to progressively build knowledge and experiences to lead to a prepared, informed transition into postsecondary choices
