  4. Where Achievement Begins San Fernando Effect • San Fernando Valley – 14 high schools, 80% parent, student dissatisfaction with counseling program • Superintendent Robert Collins: “If you don’t submit a written plan – for college, the military, a trade school, or a job, you will not be able to attend the graduation ceremonies.” • “Every student’s goal and dream is important and should be nurtured by school administration, counselors and teachers.”

  5. Where Achievement Begins Positive Results • June 2002: 18 months later – 100% of 3,764 grads completed a written ‘post-secondary commitment’ plan • Result: 10% decrease in the dropout rate • Result: 10% increase in the number of students accepted to the University of California • Result: College admission rose 150% for African Americans, 31% for Latinos.

  6. Where Achievement Begins “Achievement is closer than you think.”

  7. Where Achievement Begins Drive School Achievement Ample evidence exists to indicate the impact of more motivated students on key school outcomes Achievement Outcome: Academic Achievement “Students attending middle schools with more fully implemented comprehensive guidance programs reported….(c) believing education was more relevant and important to their futures, ….(f) earning higher grades.” (Helping 7th Graders Be Safe and Successful, Lapan, Gysbers et al, 2001)

  8. Where Achievement Begins Drive School Achievement Achievement Outcome: Academic Achievement “Students grades rose as they spent more time in career academies. This study compared student grades before and after enrollment in the academies.” (California Partnership Academies – Evaluation Report, 1997) “Participation in well implemented career academies raised students’ GPA’s. This conclusion was based on a comparison to non-academy students in the same district.” (Career Academy Programs in California, Maxwell & Rubin, 2000)

  9. Where Achievement Begins To Drive School Achievement Achievement Outcome: Dropout/Attendance Rates “Students who can articulate a meaningful connection to future education and/or employment, “are less likely to drop out; their attendance and grades improve; …(and they have) enhanced motivation and better planning for the future.” (School-to-Work: Making a Difference in Education, Hughes et al, 2001)

  10. Vertical/Horizontal Services Medical Model Vertical Services – responsive to specific types of medical needs (eg. heart, skin, EENT, optometry, spinal cord, pediatrics, emergency) Horizontal Services – wellness - preventative services (eg. nutrition/diet, physical fitness, stress mgmt.) Proactive wellness services have positive value for all physical ‘verticals’ of medicine.

English, math, biology, geography, physical education, trades, Spanish) Horizontal Services – motivation - proactive services (eg. educational planning, balanced career/life planning, financial planning, self-management) Proactive motivation services have positive value for all skills/information ‘verticals’ of education.
