The document discusses efforts by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) to implement Naviance, a college and career planning platform, and increase college-going rates among its students. Key points:
- CMSD saw growing college ambition but low persistence and completion, so implemented Naviance to help create a college-going culture.
- Naviance usage and college applications submitted by CMSD students have increased since implementation.
- A Higher Education Compact was also launched to align partners and measure progress through a dashboard on factors like graduation rates, readiness, enrollment, and completion.
- CMSD is using Naviance to track student milestones and goals throughout their high school career to increase college access and success

Feeding the 500: Using blended learning activities to improve the first year ...BlackboardEMEA
MBS has one of the largest undergraduate intakes of any UK campus-based business school, with up to 550 new students enrolling each year. Students are expected to develop and utilise research skills throughout their degree programme, with many course units focusing on the practical applications of theories from the outset.
This session will focus on how a collaboration between academics, library staff and graduate teaching assistants resulted in the creation of a comprehensive suite of blended learning activities (focused around the students’ first assignment), which aided the transition to higher education learning for the new student intake.
Blackboard Learn played a pivotal role in the process by housing a suite of bespoke online learning resources (which were adapted from the University of Manchester Library’s Catalyst award winning blended learning programme).
The resources were designed to improve the research and referencing habits of new students within the subject area of Business and Management. Blackboard Learn also proved effective in allowing us to monitor students’ progress throughout the course unit. We will discuss how we gathered over 300 feedback responses (relating to students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the different training elements e.g. online, face-face), together with a short presentation of these findings.

How to Increase Student Engagement at Your School in 3 Easy StepsNaviance
To increase student engagement, you need to capture your students attention through the three main parts of their high school community: academically, socially, and emotionally. Here's how to do it in 3 easy steps.
On May 1st, the Center for Innovative School Facilities hosted a group workshop led by Adam Rubin of New Visions for Public Schools. Adam led a discussion focusing on education reform and how it is driving the design, construction, and community and administrative infrastructure of school facilities.
Presented to the Board of Higher Education and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education at the joint meeting on January 26, 2016 at Roxbury Community College.
Our goal is to ensure that more children find jobs by being academically and socially ready for their first year of college. The "College Ready" High School to College Pipeline program allows colleges and universities to enroll students that have been acculturated to college, both socially and academically. This program will increase their retention and graduation rates, while decreasing the institution's drop-out rates.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
What has been happening at the district over the last several years (i.e. - College Readiness coaches, Cleveland Goes to College curriculum, Senior Seminar curriculum, etc) that has played into an increased focus on college and career readiness?Portfolio of new and innovative schools were created and are now producing larger numbers of graduates that are prepared for and have access to highly selective colleges across the country. (Students in the last few years have gotten into Harvard, Stanford, MIT and Cornell).Ambition and expectation has been growing but persistence and completion have remained low. (Show CMSD Nation, State and CMSD college going and completion chart).
Based on what was happening at the school district with career and college-readiness and funders increased interest in this area, the district looked at Naviance and decided it was the system/infrastructure piece of the puzzle that could bring all of the work together. As in other district, it could create such efficiencies for counselors, put data at the fingertips of principals and adminstrators and help simplify the multitude of work students and families have to do in the college-going process.Implemented Naviance in the 2011-2012 school year across all district high schools - about 13,000 students, 9-12 had access to it. Created grade-level milestones for each grade to keep kids on track (show graphic of grade level milestones)
Implementation has been as expected with the typical buy-in challanges of any new system. But those that use it, love it. It is becomming more and more the tool we use for more of that case management approach to college search, acceptance and enrollment.
The School district implemented career and college planning software Naviance Succeed last year across all high schools. It is a robust system aimed at assisting students and families with the college search, application and selection process. First year implementation went well and College Now was an integral part of making sure students were utilizing the system regularly. As you can see, usership among juniors and seniors was good but more work needs to be done to make this an expectation for all students. We know that Naviance is a tremendous resource for students, families and guidance counselors. We need to make it more a part of the daily routine for everyone.
Building systems and structures first is important. We asked hard questions of higher education and the school district to find out what was happening with kids after high school. We worked hard to collect and analyze the information we needed to tell the story. Once that was done, we knew where holes/gaps existed that we needed to fill in order to track students’ progression through high school and college. We then purchased software to help us do that and gave everyone access to that tool so that they too could support student success at every level. Quality data and data analysis is critical. Using National Student Clearinghouse data alongside institutional data we were able to track on an individual student level what was happening and where kids were falling out of the pipeline. Building trust and strong relationships is vital. The Compact spent time in the first year convening like partners to grow our relationships with them but also their relationships with one another. We also tried to cross-pollinate institutions that would not necessarily interact with one another but work on different parts of the education pipeline to get students to degree completion. All Compact partners talk about the value they place on the convening and sharing that takes place at meetings. Be comfortable with ambiguity. This network structure of organizations aligning their efforts toward a common goal is challenging and uncomfortable for many. Stick with it and keep in mind the person at the center of all the work is the student.
