• Results are on the following slides
Student Orientation
Student Orientation
Strategies for Student Support:
STUDENT PREPARATION
• Colleges offer information sessions and
orientations.
• Some colleges require attendance to apply to
program. Consider transportation and location
to ensure equitable access.
• Some colleges only work through application
process.
Thoughts to Consider
• Process should include parents/families and
high school staff.
• Some LEAs begin as early as middle school to
share program opportunities.
• Start early! Timing is critical to support
student access. Academic plans are most
effectively developed early and sometimes
before Grade 9.
Communication about
Student Performance
Strategies for Student Support:
COMMUNICATION about STUDENT
PERFORMANCE
• Most (2/3) colleges are communicating to
someone at the high school when a student is
not performing well; 1/3 do not.
• Colleges are communicating to high school
staff and/or parents, depending on FERPA
release.
• Some are getting FERPA release up-front.
Thoughts to Consider
• How is this communication structured? To
whom? By when?
• Districts Two-way communication is key for
student success.
• Timing of communication is crucial, especially
when student supports are needed. An earlyalert system or process of sharing progress with
high schools on-going is key to success.
Textbooks
Fees
Strategies for Student Support:
FINANCIAL ISSUES
• Payment of textbooks varies across the state.
Some schools are using paper and some are
using e-textbooks.
• Colleges, students, and high schools pay for
textbooks.
• College fees are waived by some but most are
still requiring them.
Thoughts to Consider
• Consider textbook-free course. Use a variety of
instructional resources, and not solely a
textbook. Why are we dependent on
textbooks?
• Consider developing own assessments so not to
have to use the publisher codes.
• Share resources to reduce costs, reduce teacher
prep and increase access.
• Consider waiving college fees. Many students
are not accessing student activities.
Recommended Best Practices
• Clear and consistent communication between
partner IHE and district/school about student
performance and enrollment.
• Develop processes and practices that support
student success of high school students in a
college environment.
• Create a clear and meaningful MOU that is
developed together and regularly reviewed.
• Set regular meeting with partner leadership
teams.
