  4. Lee County Schools: College and Career Readiness *Current Data • Note: These gains occurred simultaneous with: • Loss of 2 ATC programs (Welding, Accounting) • Loss of LCHS Electives (8 blocks to 7 classes, additional labs and transition classes)

  5. What were the keys to this improvement?

  6. CHANGE in CULTURE • CCR became IMPORTANT • So, how did we change this culture from 2009 till 2013?

  7. Starting PointsPrior to 2009-2010 School Year No College & Career Readiness focus No ownership by students No ownership by teachers Not part of the school Vision or Mission No Intentional Scheduling

  8. Key Players in Our CCR Increase ATC Principal (Craig Herald) + LCHS Counselor (Jamie Stickler) + District CTE Coordinator (Ray Shuler) Principal and ER Team increased focus - but three players above had to drive the system

  9. What We Did Year 1 “Awareness” 2009-2010 • Tested all CTE students in KOSSA • Changed the CTE focus from “Pass Rate” to “How many can we get?” • Added Industry Certifications • Beginning of PLC’s, we called them “Quality Programs” • Focused on teacher ownership of their students

  10. What We Did Year 2 “Awareness” 2010-2011 • Established our Career Pathways • Guided students through them (3 Courses) • We built the Career Pathways into the LCHS Master Schedule • Approximately ½ of the ATC teachers were on board with the significance of achieving Career Readiness • All CTE Students took Work Keys blind • No prep time or prep system (found out all seniors would take test just before it was administered.)

  11. What We Did Year 3 2011-2012 • Full communication of Career Pathways to students and related the significance • Reviewed ACT scores of CTE students, for the first time • Students became acutely aware of the benchmarks, Work Keys, KOSSA and became focused on the future and achieving Career Readiness goals • Schedule change from Modified Block to 7 Period Day • Caused a loss of time for CTE courses • Intervention courses further cut time available for CTE

  12. What We Did Year 4 2012-2013 • Added Education Recovery support at LCHS / Lee ATC • Developed and communicated a common definition of CCR • Developed visuals and tools • Intentionality in scheduling for Career Pathway completion • Instituted a College/Career Ready Tracking system for each student

  13. Tracking the Data

  14. What We Did Year 4 2012-2013 • District-Wide focus on Meeting Benchmarks • Let the DATA SPEAK – Show EVERYONE • Seniors buy-in to CCR • Transition Classes / Credit Recovery • Assemblies, celebrations, recognition displays • CCR Became a topic of conversation • Increased Student Talk in 11th and 12th grades • Student participation in College Day & take Compass
