Main Idea and Objectives

• What can be done to track and support student progress towards college readiness?– History and demographics of NSHS– Transitional phases (activity)– Elements of scorecard– Intervention plan

History of Nevada State High School

• 1.0 Getting started (FY0405 to FY0607)

– On campus, grant, credibility, part-time staff• 2.0 Growing up (FY0708 to FY1011)

– Off campus, 3rd pillar, offerings, assessments, framework, FT staff, transitions, registration

• 3.0 Improving it (FY1112 to present)

– New facility, scorecards, student workers

Registration to Enrollment (FY1314 [351 first yr. students])

Transitional Phases: Activity Take Away

• Educational Milestones– What skills are needed at each milestone?

Transitional Phase Activity: Step 1

• Separately, generate your top five skills a student needs to transition into the following:– Red (kindergarten)– Blue (middle school)– Yellow (high school)– Green (college)

• Produce five cards with one skill each

Ex. “College Skill”

MeetDeadlines

Transitional Phase Activity: Step 2

• Mark each of your cards with the best fit pillar of transition including:– Personal: accountability for own self– Academic: fundamental, scholarly based

knowledge: facts, the nuts and bolts – Social: appropriate communication and

connection with others

Transitional Phase Activity: Step 3

• Select your top three skills (student MUST have)

• Place notecards under respective pillars• Analyze the results:

– Are the pillars balanced with notecards?– Are (will) the pillars balance at your school?– How can you target balance in your program?

Academic Pillar: Instruments and Tools

• Assessments and data collection– College placement exams– WorkKeys® (pre|post)– PLAN®– Engage®

Tracking Progress Towards College Readiness

• A mission to develop something that:– Creates a common language– Provides timely feedback to improve– Promotes involvement– Tracks responsibility– Monitors 1st yr. exper. | attendance– Compiles assessment | plcmt. data

Center for Community College Student Engagementhttp://www.ccsse.org/center/

Scorecard Request for Proposal

• Scalable• Ease of use• Keep it simple• Relevant and fair• Measure desired result• Ability for students to improve score

Scorecard: Labeling and Calculations

• 3 digit numbering system– XX, the first digit represents the pillar– XX, the second digit represents the object– XX, the third digit represents the factor

• Raw factors into a 4-pt scale and weighted• Roll-up process

– FAC to OBJ | OBJ to PLR | PLR to score
