6. Student Orientation

7. Student Orientation

8. Strategies for Student Support: STUDENT PREPARATION
Colleges offer information sessions and orientations.
Some colleges require attendance to apply to program. Consider transportation and location to ensure equitable access.
Some colleges only work through application process.

9. Thoughts to Consider
Process should include parents/families and high school staff.
Some LEAs begin as early as middle school to share program opportunities.
Start early! Timing is critical to support student access. Academic plans are most effectively developed early and sometimes before Grade 9.

10. Communication about Student Performance

11. Strategies for Student Support: COMMUNICATION about STUDENT PERFORMANCE
Most (2/3) colleges are communicating to someone at the high school when a student is not performing well; 1/3 do not.
Colleges are communicating to high school staff and/or parents, depending on FERPA release.
Some are getting FERPA release up-front.

12. Thoughts to Consider
How is this communication structured? To whom? By when?
Districts Two-way communication is key for student success.
Timing of communication is crucial, especially when student supports are needed. An early-alert system or process of sharing progress with high schools on-going is key to success.

13. Textbooks

14. Fees

15. Strategies for Student Support: FINANCIAL ISSUES
Payment of textbooks varies across the state. Some schools are using paper and some are using e-textbooks.
Colleges, students, and high schools pay for textbooks.
College fees are waived by some but most are still requiring them.

16. Thoughts to Consider
Consider textbook-free course. Use a variety of instructional resources, and not solely a textbook. Why are we dependent on textbooks?
Consider developing own assessments so not to have to use the publisher codes.
Share resources to reduce costs, reduce teacher prep and increase access.
Consider waiving college fees. Many students are not accessing student activities.

17. Recommended Best Practices
Clear and consistent communication between partner IHE and district/school about student performance and enrollment.
Develop processes and practices that support student success of high school students in a college environment.
Create a clear and meaningful MOU that is developed together and regularly reviewed.
Set regular meeting with partner leadership teams.
