Goal: Help get our students to college.

How:

Bring back "College Crew" - a weekly/monthly meeting for our students who are first in families to go to college

The counseling office started YNHS but that is only for rising juniors. What can we do for next year's seniors? There's already a group who have expressed an interest.

Goal: Help students see what is possible for their futures / Role Models

How: Bring back students like Gustavo Ramos to talk about his "car flipping" business, Evelin Davila (who just graduated this year after going to Phoenix), and Laura Mora, who is now teaching elementary school in Cobb County

How: Bring students who have participated in Maxwell back to NHS to teach Freshmen and Sophomores about this possibility. Also bring back students who have gone on to college and graduated or are in the process to teach our students that it is possible. (Associate Degree students, too)

How: Send out a survey for the parents to complete on the first day/week of school asking how we as teachers can help them. Also include what hours work for them for meetings and locations.

To bounce off the idea of the monthly parent meeting, we could discuss e-class and how they can access it to view student grades, assignments, and learning modules.

Liz Knab Goal - take students bake to Latino Youth Leadership Conference (LYLC)

# data[].attributes.body
This conference helps students by allowing them to meet college students and learn about the college experience. It is encouraging for students, and there are college workshops for students and workshops for students. This conference gives tons of advice about college and scholarships, especially for undocumented students. There is also a college fair and most of the schools there accept undocumented students. I will come back and chaperone this if we make it happen! Talk to Keren Coronado about this (La Voz goes every year) and it should be at an ITP college next year (maybe GSU or Emory).

Set up a REMIND account for ESOL parents. Send out messages in English and Spanish. Encourage parents who do not speak English or Spanish to download the app since the app offers translation into other languages. We could also have a twitter account for ESOL parents.

Provide more focused, explicit study skills instruction to ESOL students. Perhaps in ESOL Guided Studies. Also work more with teams of teachers who teach the same students (ESOL I, Alg I; ESOL II, Geom, W Hist) to develop routines to help students study, turn in homework, ask for missing work, etc.

Guided Study teachers can show students what the "four-year plan" looks like and how many credits they need to graduate. At the same time, students could look at their schedules & course histories and see if they can "mark off" how many credits they have and what credits they still need. If students could understand this better, they could be better advocates for themselves.
