Why it did not work:To be successful we have to…
Action Plan We did not consider…
…change the way our campus does college.
Train all teachers, staff and support staff.
…changing culture is a gradual and timely process.
…get a good head start before the school year begins.

Use core teachers to implement different aspect of the program.
…value of instructional time.

Many of life failures are
people who did not realize how close they were
to success when they gave up.
What we know:
1.The training at the beginning of the year was not effective.
2.Core teachers are pressed for time.
3.Academic advisors were able to provide support.
What we need:
1. Re-train
2. Computers
3. Make it relevant
What worked:
Career and Technology
Education classes.
Why CTE?
1. Looking at different curriculum, this department can incorporate Naviance lessons directly into different units.
2. Their accountability measures are not based on state-wide assessment.
3. The majority of CTE classrooms have computers.
