The number of homeless students in our nation's public schools has risen significantly since 2006, reaching over 1.3 million in 2013-14. What more can be done to help homeless students stay on track to graduation and on to a more stable future?
Civic Enterprises, the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, the Raikes Foundation, and America’s Promise Alliance hosted a webinar to share research about the current state of homeless students in America’s public schools. In addition, the webinar addressed new ESSA guidelines that will require districts and states – for the first time – to report high school graduation rates for homeless students.
Speakers included:
*Tanya Tucker, Vice President of Alliance Engagement, America’s Promise Alliance
*Erin Ingram, Policy Advisors, Civic Enterprises
*Barbara Duffield, Director of Policy and Programs, National Association for the Education of Homeless Youth and Children
*Patricia A. Popp, Ph. D., State Coordinator with Project HOPE-VA and Clinical Associate Professor, School of Education, The College of William and Mary
*Hannah Johnson, a student who has experienced homelessness and is now a sophomore studying elementary education at Virginia Commonwealth University
The webinar stemmed from the report – Hidden in Plain Sight - written by Civic Enterprises with Hart Research Associates and recently released by the GradNation campaign. The report looks into how educators, policymakers and community organizations can help more students cope with homelessness, graduate from high school and get on a path to adult success.

This document summarizes the growing use of social media in higher education. It discusses how nearly all universities now use social media to communicate with students, up from 61% in 2007. It provides examples of how universities like Stanford, Oregon State, and the University of Miami are actively engaging on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google+ to recruit and interact with students. The presentation outlines best practices for social media use and opportunities for the future, emphasizing the importance of an integrated, strategic approach.
The document summarizes findings from a 2015 Pew Research Center report on social media usage demographics. It finds that 71% of online Americans use Facebook, though the median number of actual friends is only 50. Usage of Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram is also summarized. Twitter saw increases among men, whites, older age groups and higher incomes. LinkedIn saw growth among higher incomes and the employed. Pinterest and Instagram usage rose across most demographics.
This document summarizes key findings from a 2011 study on the e-expectations of college-bound high school seniors and their parents regarding online tools and resources. Some of the main findings include:
- Both students and parents find academic program information and email most useful online. However, parents are less engaged with social media and mobile sites.
- Most students and parents own mobile phones but few have used college/university mobile sites. Students are more interested in using mobile for scheduling visits and applications than parents.
- Facebook is widely used but parents are less likely to interact directly on school pages. Students prefer current student comments and athletic information most.
- Cost and scholarship calculators influence perceptions but many have not used the

Technological and social changes have spawned new opportunities for effective
outreach to demographics that have historically been underrepresented at colleges, including African American, Native American, Hispanic, first generation and low-income students. This
session shares findings from a nationwide study of underrepresented students currently
navigating the college admissions process, as well as college freshman reflecting on their
experiences. The research reveals the most significant frustrations and influences in their search
and decision making process. We will take an in depth look at how mobile communication,
online media, friends, community-based organizations, student life, and family are influencing
their decisions. The research includes data and recorded video from thousands of students who
participated in surveys, focus groups and in-depth interviews. Session attendees will hear directly
from the students themselves and learn the best ways to inform and engage these groups that all
too often get lost in the frenzy.

Abstract
Initiatives supporting the use and creation of open educational resources (OER) can provide cost, access, and student success solutions for higher education. The affordability argument often associated with OER gets significant attention because commercial textbook prices are startling and cost savings accumulate quickly when transitioning to free resources. However, the pedagogical innovation enabled by openness is as highly valued by both educators and their students. In this presentation, we’ll define OER, examine the impact of OER use in higher education, explore values that are fundamental to open education, discuss concepts of information ownership and authority, and highlight examples of open education that have empowered educators, improved information access, and increased student agency.

Jessica Cardichon from the Learning Policy Institute discussed why chronic absenteeism matters and how states are addressing it. She defined chronic absenteeism and explained its negative impacts on students. Phillip Lovell from the Alliance for Excellent Education then discussed how ESSA requires states to report chronic absenteeism rates and select a fifth non-academic indicator. They took questions from participants on challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and opportunities provided by ESSA. The webinar provided resources on state efforts to improve data collection and reduce chronic absenteeism through interventions and professional development.
EducationUSA Virtual & Social Media Report 2013Marty Bennett
Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter—these are just a few of the tools EducationUSA advisers are using around the world to help international students learn about and connect with educational opportunities at U.S. universities and colleges. Even in the more remote and less populated areas, social media is playing a stronger role each day in making those connections. EducationUSA is a U.S. Department of State-supported
network of more than four hundred advising centers in 170 countries around the world.
Each year, EducationUSA advisers provide millions of international students with accurate, comprehensive, and current information about how to apply to U.S.
colleges and universities. EducationUSA staff also work with U.S. higher education professionals to promote international student recruitment. Virtual outreach is a vital component to this endeavor. This report focuses on the successes of the
EducationUSA network’s global virtual outreach in 2013, including a review of the most commonly used social media, video channels, and micro/ traditional blogs.
1) Nearly one in five Des Moines high school students were chronically absent in 2012-13, missing at least 18 days of school. High rates of chronic absenteeism were also seen in Council Bluffs and Waterloo.
2) Students who miss more than 10% of kindergarten are less likely to be proficient readers by 3rd grade, and chronic high school skippers are less likely to graduate or pursue post-secondary education.
3) Getting students to regularly attend school is important for their academic success and can boost test scores, but combating chronic absenteeism requires efforts from schools, parents, and communities.
Calling for Change: BME Oxford Students Speak OutOUSU-CRAE
CRAE presented findings from a number of interviews and surveys with BME students to Oxford University's Subcommittee for Welfare - here is what students said and what Oxford can do!
This document discusses chronic early absence and strategies to address it. It defines key terms like average daily attendance, truancy, and chronic absence. It summarizes data showing chronic absence is associated with lower academic performance and higher dropout rates. Successful programs use multi-tiered approaches, data-driven action, attendance teams, home visits, and community partnerships. Reducing chronic absence requires ownership from superintendents, mobilizing communities, and using attendance data to monitor progress and target interventions.
This presentation discusses the importance of primary and secondary education and the many aspects that apply to its necessity in this world. I've also provided statistics that apply to my home state of Washington and provide ways for people to get involved.

The document discusses recent efforts by colleges to make the admissions process less stressful and competitive. A growing number of selective colleges have formed a coalition to increase diversity and make applications more relevant. The coalition plans to launch free online planning tools and a new application that encourages creative materials like videos and portfolios. However, some experts are skeptical that these changes will truly reduce stress and worry they may benefit privileged students more. There are also concerns about how underprivileged students without technology or guidance counselors will utilize the new digital resources. Overall, the article examines debates around ongoing efforts to reform college admissions.
This document summarizes the key findings of a national telephone survey of 800 likely voters regarding issues related to higher education in the United States. Some of the main findings include:
- A majority of voters believe that some changes are needed to the US higher education system but not a major overhaul.
- Voters are divided on whether the US system is better or worse than other countries.
- An overwhelming majority view the cost of college tuition as very expensive.
- There is no consensus on who should be responsible for controlling tuition costs.
- Views are mixed on increasing federal funding for student loans and grants.
The document summarizes the agenda and goals of a Geneva2020 Attendance/Behavior Action Team meeting. The team aims to build a stronger community by harnessing resources to support children and ensure they graduate prepared. The meeting covers introducing the team, reviewing data on attendance issues, and establishing next steps to improve attendance through community partnerships and continuous improvement efforts.
This document summarizes a conference for middle school counselors about connecting with families. It discusses the history and goals of GEAR UP, a program aimed at increasing college attendance rates for low-income students. It provides an overview of GEAR UP programs in California, which have served over 1 million students. It also describes resources available to counselors and families, such as workshops, guides to California colleges, and a clearinghouse website with information and materials. Suggestions are made for engaging families, like hosting family gatherings and leveraging community partnerships.

Memo | Colorado statewide poll january 2021Mary Willson
Student learning loss due to the pandemic is the most important issue facing Colorado's public schools according to 27% of voters. Initially, Colorado voters are divided on whether to administer end-of-year statewide tests, with 46% supporting and 41% opposing. However, when told the tests would only be used to measure learning loss and identify school trends without consequences, support increases to 62% while opposition decreases to 25%. The top reasons given for supporting the tests concern measuring how COVID-19 has impacted student learning in order to provide support to students and districts most affected.
Using Social Media to Strengthen Donor RelationshipsJulia Campbell
Donor retention (how many donors continue to give to your organization after their first gift) is at an all-time low. It’s abysmal and worrisome.
The Association of Fundraising Professionals found that 70% of all donors that nonprofits recruit into giving a gift never donate again to that organization!
People of all generations are online and using social media platforms. Use this fact to your advantage as social media channels can be an excellent way to strengthen donor relationships.
In this webinar, we will cover ways that your nonprofit can use social media to build relationships with donors.
The Dear Everybody campaign was started by Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital to raise awareness of disability stigma and promote inclusion. It uses social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube to share stories and statistics about the discrimination faced by those with disabilities. The campaign asks people to sign an agreement demanding more diverse representation in media and to take actions to reduce stigma. While it has been successful in raising local awareness, the campaign aims to have a wider national impact through more frequent posting of new content on social platforms.

Nonprofit Storytelling in A Digital World - HandsOn Tech BostonJulia Campbell
Description: Digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way people read and consume information.
If your nonprofit is not embracing digital tools to compose a compelling narrative around your cause, your information could be getting lost in the noise.
In this increasingly competitive landscape for donors’ attention and support, getting people to notice and to hear your message can seem impossible.
Email communications, social media, and mobile are all important to understand, but how will these tools really help you connect with your donors and supporters?
Mythbusting Admissions: Where Prospects and Professionals Agree, and Disagree...mStoner, Inc.
This document discusses myths and realities in college admissions based on research from Chegg and mStoner. It addresses common myths that admission officers have about how prospective students use technology and social media. For example, while officers believe students closely follow their social media, students actually prefer to engage with current students and use official accounts just for information. The document provides advice, noting students primarily use mobile devices to connect with friends, not colleges. It suggests focusing efforts on responsive websites and only contacting students who initiate contact through their preferred channels.
The document discusses social media use among teens and tweens. It notes that 95% of teens ages 12-17 are online, and 80% of online teens use social media. Social media has become integral to teen social lives both positively and negatively.

Financial inclusion ways to help the underbankedExperian_US
The document summarizes a Twitter discussion about financial inclusion and options for the underbanked population. It notes that 20% of U.S. households are underbanked, meaning they have limited access to mainstream financial services. Common reasons for being underbanked include bank fees, lack of stable income, lack of trust in banks, and lack of financial knowledge. The discussion offers suggestions on financial services available to the underbanked, like prepaid cards and check cashing, and ways the banking industry and organizations are trying to help the underbanked through financial education programs and accessible products.
Showing How Awesome You Are! School And Leadership BrandingSteven Anderson
The digital age is making it easier for parents and the community to learn what happens inside the school building. Using social media, schools and districts can more deeply engage with those stakeholders, providing a more unified foundation for better relationships. It also makes it easier for professionals to tell their stories and take control of the message they want all to know about the great things happening in schools and districts. Steven W. Anderson, author of the book The Relevant Educator and The Tech-Savvy Administrator, will examine the current social media landscape and describe personal and school branding. He will also show how to accomplish it easily and simply with little or no funds but having maximum impact.
This year's study, in partnership with Chegg, reveals where perspectives from teens using college websites and higher ed marketing professionals converge and differ — and how marketers can leverage this knowledge.
Based on research conducted in 2016 by Chegg and mStoner, this presentation explores:
- Seven common myths about what prospective students like and don’t like about college websites.
- Perspectives from prospective teen students and college marketing professionals — where they converge, where they differ — and how marketers can leverage this knowledge.
- Website content that best influences prospective students’ admission journeys.
- Best practices for website organization and strategy.
#HEWEB18 - Using an Instagram Story to Help Sexual Assault SurvivorsJon McBride
BYU found some important pieces of data in its campus climate survey: 1. Survivors of sexual assault first turn to friends and roommates. 2. Friends and roommates felt ill equipped to help. 3. Friends and roommates wanted to help. So we created an Instagram story directed to the entire student body, coaching them on what to say, how to help and what specific resources to point their friends and roommates to, if they come to them for support after an assault.
The document discusses various topics related to raising children in a digital world, including social media use, online privacy and safety, and the importance of parental involvement and monitoring. Some key points mentioned are that many kids have social media accounts without privacy settings, some meet online friends in person, and most kids have electronics in their bedroom. The document provides advice to parents such as checking kids' online activities, having media-smart conversations, and utilizing resources for online safety tips.

From big brands to college admissions offices, understanding the user is something that all sites struggle with. We as designers, developers, and content curators often attempt to make a site for everyone when, in fact, if we target a specific user, the experience could be tailored just for them. Higher ed institutions have many constituents. In this presentation we will target the prospective student user, the lifeblood of any tuition-driven college or university.

This webinar digs deeper on the Pathways Action Platform area and learn from one organization that is successfully providing students with effective work-based learning opportunities.
Research has shown that providing students with experiential learning while in high school, like internships and other work-based learning opportunities, can have a positive impact on student outcomes. Learning rooted in real-life experience has proven to increase intrinsic motivation to learn, promotes reflection, and associates positive emotions with learning.
Given that capacity and resources can constrain traditional high schools in providing youth with real-world work experiences and soft skills job training, what does it take to provide students with the experiences and skills that are needed to succeed in life after high school? How can schools and non-profit partners work together to provide access to these opportunities? What does it take to establish partnerships that positively connect the high school experience to postsecondary pathways? Urban Alliance works to answer these questions for young people in Baltimore, Chicago, Washington, DC, Detroit, and Northern Virginia.
Urban Alliance provides underserved high school seniors with professional development training, a 10-month paid internship, one-on-one mentoring, and ongoing post-high school support. They will talk in detail about how they teach professional soft skills to high school students; the resources, partnerships, and capacities needed to implement their model; and the data that speaks to their success. We will also hear from a few youth who have benefited from the work of this organziation.
Achieving a 90 percent Graduation Rate: A Path Back to High School for Boston...America's Promise Alliance
The GradNation campaign invites you to join a webinar on December 13th, 2018 from 3:00 – 4:15 p.m. ET that dives deeply into the Youth Re-engagement area.
Six percent of the class of 2016 did not graduate from high school and was not enrolled in a program to graduate. Though these young people have the potential to graduate, they have not completed school and lack a clear pathway to finish. Re-engagement centers have emerged as a successful way to locate youth aged 16 to 24 who have left the traditional school system and connect them to effective educational options and other services, so they can attain a high school diploma or GED.
In this webinar, we will hear from the National League of Cities on the re-engagement landscape and learn from The Boston Re-Engagement Center and their success in bringing young people back to earn their diplomas. We will define re-engagement and its importance, discuss barriers youth face in returning to education, and describe the strategies to re-engage students. We will also hear from young people served by the Boston Re-Engagement Center.
A positive school environment that is safe, supportive, and inclusive can increase student engagement, attendance, and achievement. Against a backdrop of teacher and leader changes, school improvement plans, and increased youth voice, what does it take to create a positive school climate? What is the field doing to ensure that school climate is positive for the students and the school staff? What does it take to establish a web of support for young people and for the adults tasked to raise student achievement and graduation rates?
During this webinar, participants will learn from City Year National and City Year Detroit in partnership with Osborn High School. They will share their whole child, data-driven approach and the resources and capacities needed to implement it at the individual student, classroom and school-wide levels.
[WEBINAR] Disciplined and Disconnected: Insights about Exclusionary Disciplin...America's Promise Alliance
Do harsh disciplinary practices have a place in today’s schools? Suspending and expelling students detrimentally affects their chances to graduate – and ultimately affects their chances of securing employment and succeeding in life.
New research from the Center for Promise—Disciplined and Disconnected: How Students Experience Exclusionary Discipline in Minnesota and the Promise of Non-Exclusionary Alternatives—answers these questions.
In this webinar, you will learn more about the findings of the CFP's latest research, the broader national implications for policy and practice of these findings, and the kind of support adults need to implement more effective practices that do not lead to further disconnection.

[GradNation Webinar] Achieving a 90 percent Graduation Rate: Meeting the Need...America's Promise Alliance
The document summarizes a webinar discussing approaches to helping high school students facing poverty and adversity graduate. It discusses research showing factors like trauma, poverty and chronic absenteeism negatively impact academic performance. Two programs are highlighted: Turnaround for Children's "Building Blocks for Learning" framework and City Connects' "Principles of Effective Practice" model for integrated student support. City Connects research shows the program closes achievement gaps, lowers chronic absenteeism, holds fewer students back and lowers dropout rates, with a positive return on investment. The webinar aimed to discuss how to best support youth facing challenges.
This document provides an overview and agenda for an informational webinar about the America's Promise Healthy Schools Fund grant opportunity. The webinar will cover the background of America's Promise Alliance, the purpose and goals of the Healthy Schools Fund to support healthier school environments, eligibility requirements, selection criteria, application contents and timeline. Questions from attendees will be addressed at the end.
With generous support from AT&T, America’s Promise will invest in two states and three communities to support more young people toward the critical milestone of high school graduation.

It discusses establishing clear achievement measures and providing teachers flexibility and support to use data. Effective indicators are predictive of outcomes, actionable, and research-based. Examples from Chicago show how tracking students being "on-track" to graduate by 9th grade strongly correlates with eventual graduation rates and improved after implementing this indicator in their accountability system. The presentation then shifts to discussing Minnesota's GradMinnesota initiative and data reporting system.

America's Promise Alliance Community Convention 2016
Too many young people experience a severe level of adversity in their homes, schools, and communities. More than one-quarter of those from families living in poverty experience enough adversity to negatively affect their long-term health and educational outcomes. Science and practice tells us that relationships with caring, supportive adults and peers can buffer the impacts of adversity, encourage the social and emotional competencies a young person needs to succeed in school and life, and help a young person navigate the complexities of life. For this session discussed the role of adversity in young people’s lives and how the most scalable solution, people, can be leveraged to support young people through these adversities.

Hidden In Plain Sight: Homeless Students in America’s Public Schools
Forty-two percent of formerly homeless youth surveyed for a new report say they
dropped out of school at least once. Fifty percent say they slept in a car, abandoned
building or other public place. And 61 percent say they were uncomfortable talking about
their housing situation with people at their school. A new study written by Civic
Enterprises and released by the GradNation campaign examines the growing problem of
student homelessness by asking the young people who have experienced it and the
school employees assigned to help them. Find out more about the problem and
recommended solutions at GradNation.org/homeless.
