The Unconscious Gap…
Calabrese, R. L. (2002). The leadership assignment: Creating change. Boston: Allyn & Bacon
Until we become aware of the existing gap between what out students can do and what they are doing, we remain satisfied. Sandy River may be a good School, but what can you do to make it great?

Personalizing the Learning Environment
“High schools of the 21st century must be much more student-centered and above all much more personalized in programs, support services and intellectual rigor.” This means every student should have a personal adult advocate and a Personal Plan of Progress.
NASSP. (2004). Breaking Ranks II: Strategies for Leading High School Reform

What is Advisement?1. A systemic approach to providing ALL students with skills
and background to make decisions about his/her education and career
2. A process to aid students in developing self-awareness, option awareness, and decision-making skills
3. A process to help each student improve his/her chances for long-term employment

What is LINKS
LINKS is a standards-based, system-wide student support program/system to assist all students in successfully navigating middle and high school.
LINKS was designed specifically for WV students by WV educators
![Page 11: Home](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568152a2550346895dc0c94a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Expected Outcomes All students make informed academic and
career plans Parents are systematically involved in their
child’s education including the development of academic and career plans
More students successful in higher level courses Improved school behavior Increased graduation rates Higher test scores
![Page 12: Home](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568152a2550346895dc0c94a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Guidance: What is it? Guidance The help all students
receive from parents, teachers, counselors, community members and others to assist with educational and career development
Counseling The help some
students receive from credentialed professionals to overcome personal and social problems that interfere with learning.
![Page 13: Home](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070417/568152a2550346895dc0c94a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Students need to know….Who they are…
Where they want to go…
And how they are going to get there!
They need a systemic approach of all
staff working together in a
caring and knowledgeable
manner.
