Where Achievement Begins

• 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.”

San Fernando Effect

Where Achievement Begins

• 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.

Positive Results

Where Achievement Begins

“Achievement is closer than you think.”

Where Achievement Begins

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)

Drive School Achievement

Where Achievement Begins

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)

Drive School Achievement

Where Achievement Begins

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)

To Drive School Achievement

Vertical/Horizontal Services

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.

Medical Model

Vertical/Horizontal Services

Vertical Services – responsive to specific types of educational needs (eg. 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.
