  1. September 3, 2009 Making the Transition How GAPEC students are doing in high school

  2. Today • Creating a Safe Space • Freshman Year and Graduation • How they are related • Why it is important • GAPEC Data • GAPEC On-Track Data • GAPEC Grade information

  3. The Freshman Year Matters! Freshman year framework for predicting graduation Precision Time Available On-Track End-of year Somewhat Blunt Failures Grades End-of quarter/semester Precise Absences Immediately

  4. Freshman On-Track Indicator “2 Core Fs in Grade 9: Unlikely to Graduate Any Time” • An on-track student has no more than one semester F in a core subject • English, math, science, or social studies • An on-track student has accumulated five full course credits (in any subject) • The number required to move to 10th grade (CPS policy)

  5. How is On-Track Related to Graduation?

  6. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  7. Students who fail more courses are less likely to graduate

  8. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  9. Students who are absent or cut too many classes are unlikely to graduate

  10. Additional Freshman Year Information On-Track Failures Grades Absences

  11. Students with low grades in the freshman year are unlikely to graduate Virtually all students with a “B” average or higher in their first year will graduate in 4 years Virtually all students with less than a “D” average in their first year will fail to graduate

  12. Summarizing the Freshman Year On-Track Failures Grades Absences • Freshman performance is crucial for graduation • Students have to go to class • Students have to get good grades

  13. Roosevelt and GAPEC On-Track Data

  14. CPS: 63% 53%

  15. A more precise prediction of graduation Failures and Grades

  16. {{{ { CPS Average: 63% Difference of 10% GAPEC at Roosevelt Average: 53%

  17. How might your work with GAPEC affect this data and your students? Question:

  18. GAPEC On-Track Rate is at CPS AverageGAPEC at Roosevelt is off by about 10%

  19. APMA graduates’ on-track rate was slightly above CPS average,but not at Roosevelt

  20. Bateman graduates’ on-track rate was above CPS overall and at Roosevelt

  21. Marshall graduates’ on-track rates were below CPS average

  22. Volta graduates’ on-track rates were below CPS average
