  1. Diplomas Now benefits students, their schools and communities

  2. Tripling Graduation Rates by Focusing on the ABCs The chances of sixth to ninth graders graduating from high school triple if we eliminate their early warning signs of poor attendance, poor behavior and course failure. Diplomas Now focuses on the critical transition time of 6th to 9th grade. Research shows if we can get students safely to 10thgrade, their likelihood of graduating increases from about 25 percent to 75 percent.

  3. Diplomas Now Results The following slides show progress over the 2010-2011 school year and over the fall 2011 semester at Diplomas Now partner schools. The bars show the decline in students identified at the start of the school year for absenteeism, poor behavior and course failure. Key finding: Schools using the full Diplomas Now model achieved better results after just one semester as schools using a partial model did after an entire school year.

  4. Diplomas Now Schools Using Full Model Middle Schools: Broadmoor Middle School, East Baton Rouge Capitol Middle School, East Baton Rouge Charles R. Drew Middle School, Miami Dever-McCormack Middle School, Boston Miami Edison Middle School, Miami Shaw Middle School, Washington, DC William Jefferson Clinton Middle School, Los Angeles High Schools: Belaire High School, East Baton Rouge Booker T. Washington High School, Miami English High School, Boston Newtown High School, New York City Sheepshead Bay High School, New York City

  5. Diplomas Now Schools Using Partial Model Middle Schools: • Aki Kurose Middle School Academy, Seattle • Browne Education Campus, Washington, DC • David T. Denny International Middle School, Seattle • Hollenbeck Middle School, Los Angeles • John H. Liechty Middle School, Los Angeles High Schools: • Detroit Collegiate Prep, Detroit • Jeremiah E. Burke High School, Boston • Miami Jackson Senior High School, Miami • Sarah T. Reed High School, New Orleans

  6. Overall Fall 2011 Results After Just One Semester of the Full Diplomas Now Model 51% decrease 36% decrease 60% decrease 47% decrease *Data from 7 middle and 5 high schools partnering with Diplomas Now. These are “Cohort 1” schools implementing the full Diplomas Now model and participating in the randomized , controlled study required by the federal i3 grant.

  7. Overall Results After an Entire School Year Using Only the Partial Diplomas Now Model *Data from 5 middle schools and 3 high schools partnering with Diplomas Now. These are “legacy” schools implementing a less comprehensive version of the full Diplomas Now model.

  8. Comparison of summary data

  9. Diplomas Now achieving great early results! • After just one semester, the full Diplomas Now model with teacher teams, small learning communities, coaching and curriculum and extra student support achieves better results than the partial model with just extra student support did after an entire school year. • Decreasing early-warning indicators increases likelihood of graduation in four years. • We are positioned to achieve the 66% decline in early warning indicators and 80% graduation rate projected in the four-year study.

  10. Specific results for schools using the partial Diplomas Now model The following slides show progress over the 2010-2011 school year and over the fall 2011 semester at “legacy” schools, implementing a less comprehensive version of the Diplomas Now model. The bars show the decline in students identified at the beginning of each school year for absenteeism, poor behavior and course failure.

  21. Specific results for schools using the full Diplomas Now model and involved in the study The following slides show progress at schools after just one semester using the full Diplomas Now model. The bars show the decline in students identified at the beginning of the fall 2011 semester for absenteeism, poor behavior and course failure. These schools are known as cohort 1schools because they are implementing the full Diplomas Now model and are participating in the randomized, controlled study required by the federal i3 grant.
