  26. Improvement to student portfolios… Why should we move in this direction? • The portfolio was poorly organized & I didn't always know what was going in to my portfolio. It was difficult to organize because I didn't have access to it before my senior year. • Comment from 2006 Senior Exit Survey

  27. Improvement to student portfolios Why should we move in this direction? I did not like the portfolio projects... they did not help me in any way to plan for my future. Comments from 2006 Senior Exit Survey

  28. Improvement to student portfolios Why should we move in this direction? • I never really worked on my portfolio to my best of my abilities, and it did not mean much to me so I couldn’t tell you what worked well or what should be changed. • Comments from 2006 Senior Exit Survey

  29. Improvement to student portfolios… Why should we move in this direction? • I barely ever used my portfolio. I also probably won't really ever use it anyway. • Comments from 2006 Senior Exit Survey

  30. Culture of poverty… “In practical terms, because children living in persistent poverty appear to be at greater risk for serious academic failure, their potential contribution to society remains limited.” From Ruby Payne’s A Framework for Understanding Poverty Why should we move in this direction?

  31. Culture of poverty… 50.8% of MBHS receive free or reduced lunch (Most recent data from 2004-2005 school year) Why should we move in this direction?

  32. Parent Connections… On average 30-35% of our parents come to parent conferences. (data collected from last few years of conferences) Remember…. Schools using SLC’s are averaging over 80% parent participation Why should we move in this direction?
