Grant Student Population

¨Each grant-supported academy will have a primary focus to recruit students who are at risk of dropping out of school before attaining a high school diploma. Students will include minorities and underrepresented groups, especially those who come from households in which parents did not continue education beyond high school and students who would benefit from accelerated academic instruction.

The Education and Workforce Innovation Grant Business and Industry Alignment

¨Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools partnership with Central Piedmont Community College will support (EWIG) academy students in pursuing an industry certification and/or transferable college credit.Changes are to take place to allow 9th graders within

EWIG academies to have access to the college level coursework in ACA 122 College Transfer Success, in an online environment, through the Career and College Promise program

The Education and Workforce Innovation Grant Career Development

¨Provide extensive assistance in developing job-ready skills through career information, resume writing, communication skills, mock interviews, job shadowing, and internships.¨Develop a work-based learning rubric to utilize the combined work-based learning research from the California Center for College and Career’s Exploring College and Career Options (ECCO) program and NAF.

Why CohortAcross Curriculum

w/ Career Themes ?Standard III Element c: Teachers recognize the interconnectedness of content areas/disciplines. The "distinguished" rating includes "collaborates with teachers from other grades or subject areas to establish links between disciplines and influence school-wide curriculum and teaching practice" and "promotes global awareness and its relevance to all faculty members, influencing curriculum and teaching practices throughout the school".

Increase Relevance, Rigor, & Relationships.

Increase student performance.

● Demonstrates alignment with teacher evaluation Instrument STANDARD III Element C.

● Based on distinguished national career themed (academy) school data, there is a direct positive correlation between student cohort scheduling with career themed experiences that reflect student career interest within a personalized and relevant learning environment and positive growth performance relative to the performance measure variables on pages 14-16 of our Education & Workforce Grant document.

● Demonstrates alignment with CMS Strategic Plan 2018 Goal 1

● Demonstrates alignment with our Education Workforce Innovation Grant
