10. Building the Partnership Who do you invite to the table? How do we define SUCCESS for students? Creating a common language.

11. Asset Mapping www.postecondarysuccess.org What IS happening in your school? What ISN’T happening in your school? How WELL or BROADLY is it happening?

12. Student Data Analyze how students are doing against indicators of college eligibly, awareness, and preparedness. Then ask: WHY are we seeing this trend? WHO is already working with this population? HOW can we change practice to better support these students? WHAT resources can the we bring to the school to change the trend? WHAT is the ultimate goal for the population?

13. Bringing it All Together Who is and isn’t being served well? What are the areas of weakness? What are our strengths to build on? Prioritize goals and actions steps for THIS YEAR!
