Scope of the Need

Student Data
Analyze how students are doing against indicators of college eligibly, awareness, and preparedness. Then ask:
• WHY are we seeing this trend?
• WHO is already working with this population?
• HOW can we change practice to better support these students?
• WHAT resources can the we bring to the school to change the trend?
• WHAT is the ultimate goal for the population?
Bringing it All Together
• Who is and isn’t being served well?• What are the areas of weakness?• What are our strengths to build on?
• Prioritize goals and actions steps for THIS YEAR!
