Work Session Objectives Provide an update on the college and career readiness work of SMART Goal 3. Review and discuss strand 2 of Goal 3 and the plan in 2019-20 for helping students earn 24 credits, meet graduation requirements, and graduate ready for postsecondary success. 2

SMART Goal 3 on Seattle Ready/ College & Career Readiness The high school system in Seattle Public Schools is not adequately preparing each and every student for postsecondary success in college, career, and the possibilities Seattle has to offer. Goal 3 seeks to help all students, particularly African- American males and other students of color, to meet new 24-credit Washington State graduation requirements and graduate ready for college, career pathways, civic engagement, and life in Seattle and the world. This will be a multi-year effort to help students develop skills that will prepare them for their futures. 4
SMART Goal 3 Updates Strand 1 High School Professional Development: Increased rigor Increased engagement Strand 3 Implementation of the CTE Plan: New course pathways New work-based learning New partnerships New marketing campaign Strand 2 High School Schedule Strand 4 High School and Beyond Planning and Graduation: Naviance & HSBP lessons Advisory supports Supports for 9 th and 10 th graders 5

Update on Strand 2 of Goal 3 Expanding Credit-Earning Opportunities - Plan for 2019-20 We are not able to move forward with the modified 7 period schedule for 2019-20. We anticipate having some funding for 2019-20 to help 9 th, 10 th, and 11 th grade students stay on track to graduation and postsecondary readiness, but that amount has not been determined. We are committed to continuing to support our students who need help in getting to 24 credits and post-secondary success with the resources we have. We are finalizing a specific plan and timeline for any funds designated for supports for 9 th, 10 th, and 11 th graders in 2019-20. 7

IES Evidence-based Recommendations for Helping Students Stay on Track to Graduation Analysis of 25 gold standard studies conducted between 1987-2017 Levels of Evidence Recommendation Minimal Evidence Moderate Evidence Strong Evidence 1 Monitor the progress of all students, and proactively intervene when students show early signs of attendance, behavior, or academic problems. 2 Provide intensive, individualized support to students who have fallen off track and face significant challenges to success. 3 Engage students by offering curricula and programs that connect schoolwork with college and career success and that improve students capacity to manage challenges in and out of school. 4 For schools with many at-risk students, create small, personalized communities to facilitate monitoring and support. 19
Strand 2 - Overview of Funding Plan for Helping Students Staying on Track Provide available funding for data-driven, evidence-based strategies targeting supports for specific students at risk of not earning 6 credits per year and not graduating. Available funds will be distributed to schools based on their plans for using these strategies to serve a specific set of students. 20
