Editor's Notes
- Nearly eight in ten future job openings in the next decade in the U.S. will require postsecondary education or training.
- Forty-five percent will be in “middle skill” occupations, which require at least some postsecondary education and training, while 33% will be in high skilled occupations for which a Bachelors degree or more is required. By contrast, only 22% of future job openings will be “low skill” and accessible to those with a high school diploma or less.
- While the U.S. still ranks 3rd in the adult population (25-64 year olds) with an associates degree or higher among 30 countries, we now rank 10th among 25-34 year olds with a two-year degree and above. Competing countries are catching up to – and even outpacing – the U.S. in the educational attainment of their new generation of adults.
- Complete College America in Oklahoma aims to increase the number of college graduates by 67 percent by 2023. 30, 500 degrees annually in 2011 50,900 degrees annually by 2023
- The Common Core Standards, adopted by Oklahoma in 2010 and set for full implementation in June 2014, align with the Career Ready/College Ready Initiative
- High Schools That Work, a program of the Southern Regional Educational Board, has 10 Key Practices. Number 4 deals with Career/technical studies and the Career Ready/College Ready Agenda
- Technology Centers That Work, a program of the Southern Regional Educational Board, has 10 Key Practices. Number 2 deals with Program of Study and the Career Ready/College Ready Agenda
- The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, or Perkins IV, is set to expire in 2012.

- 11/21/11 CBell This means moving from a culture of entitlement to a culture of performance, as mentioned earlier. The National School Boards Association published an article that addressed the need for education to move from a entitlement culture to a performance culture. We have taken this article and instead of reading through the administrators mind, or the school board members lens, or the teachers lens (which many have done) we have revised it to read through the school counselor and the school counseling programs’ lens. For school counseling programs, this means moving from programs that focus on the number of activities we perform to focusing on the outcomes and results of these activities. OK, so you held 10 guidance lessons this week, eight groups and saw 15 individual students… SO WHAT?? Programs that focus on performance indicate the results of these activities. Collecting process data is important so that programs can see what they are doing and for whom, but the outcomes of these programs are what stakeholders want to see; its what funding is based on. Performance cultures focus on adapting and changing as the demographics change, as student needs change, instead of doing what we have always done.
- 11/21/11 CBell The focus then is on …….Results The paradigm shift is therefore one that takes us form monitoring ONLY the process (how may times you hold a group or teach a guidance lesson) and measuring or listing the amount of services counselors provide. To focusing on the RESULTS of these activities and measuring their outcomes so that the data can be used for program improvement. If you hold a group for students with behavior problems, can you show that discipline referrals decrease among students in the group. If you teach lessons on study skills, can you show that student performance improved?

- 11/21/11 CBell READ SLIDE Using data helps close the gaps in school and classroom practices to raise student achievement. The vision should show consistent progress and have measurements/goals for all students to meet.
- 11/21/11 CBell At one middle school site, after identifying students in need of academic assistance through a student data base query, school counselors met with teachers, students, parents and held skill building sessions in the areas of student skills and attitude. As you can see, was quite effective, specifically at 8 th grade where 72% of the students demonstrated GPA improvement.
- 11/21/11 CBell At this school site, school counselors presented guidance lessons of promotion retention criteria. The pre-post test had indicated that only 15% of student understood the promotion retention criteria before the lessons, 100% did following. Additionally, school counselors met individually and in small groups with students who were identified as retention candidates. As this slide indicates, 72 students avoided retention as a results of this intervention. Now, while school counselors can’t take all the credit, they certainly know they were contributing to the academic achievement of students.
- 11/21/11 CBell Conflict resolution became a site goal one year at this elementary and as you can see, the number of students who could p eacefully resolve a conflict increased from 55% to 88%. Following implementation of a Conflict Manager program, the number of suspended students was reduced from 13% in 97/98 to 3% in 01/02 . As statistic that would impress any school board member, reduce administrative time managing discipline and hopefully improve student learning as well.
- 11/21/11 CBell One year, one high school focused on improving student use of the career center. A new guidance assistant was hired to help the school counselors with clerical responsibilities related to the career center and with organizing speakers and the details of the evening guidance presentations provided by the school counselors for parents and students. As you can see, it was quite effective. In three years, the number of students visiting the career center increased from 30 to over 200 students per day. Parent attendance at evening guidance events increased from 150 to 500 parents. Scholarship dollars for students increased from $750,000 to $825, 000 and finally, graduation rates improved from 84 % to 89% .
