• Community: Partnerships with schools, students prepared for the workforce, contributing members of society
![Page 50: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Activity: Cultivating Buy-In
[Worksheet: Session 3, Activity 1]
• Identify your partnership stakeholders. Be specific.
• Whose buy-in do you need in order to create a GFSF program?
• Who are the visionaries with whom you work? We are often reactive – how can we be proactive???
![Page 51: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Curriculum: Career Choices
• Who am I? What do I want? How do I get it?• Exploration of three careers of interest• Budget building/Financial Literacy• Creation of online 10-year Career &
Education Plan• Career Technical Education (CTE) link• Personal development
![Page 52: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Beginnings...• SBCC came to my principal with the idea of offering a dual-
enrollment professional development studies course to every freshmen (pass/no pass)
• We previously had offered a computer operations course that seemed to be loosing its relevance
• We had to find a class to back up the single semester Health Course
• I was an English and ELD teacher, who was given the opportunity to teach the course
![Page 53: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Our Program• Freshmen Seminar/Career Choices is a graduation
requirement, thus every student is enrolled. Students may enroll in a three-unit, pass/no pass, CTE course through SBCC.
• Students are not required to dually enroll, but are strongly encouraged to do so. Why not get college credit if they have to take and pass the course to graduate?
• First semester half of our freshmen class take Freshmen Seminar and the other half take Health; at second semester the students switch from Freshmen Seminar to Health or vice versa.
![Page 54: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
All About the Partnerships...• Santa Barbara City College: Provides dual-enrollment
credit, application workshops, career and education planning presentations, and helps in organizing field trips
• Academic Innovations: Provides the text and curriculum resources that allow the course to run smoothly
• Academy of Healing Arts: Comes in every Tuesday for 10 weeks and educates our students on Emotional Intelligence
• Partners in Education: A local non-profit organization arranges guest speakers from various industry sectors

Career Choices Provides a Solid Foundation
• We use the 80 hour lesson plan to pace our semester, allowing room for the various other activities
• We begin the semester with the pre-surveys and end the semester with the post-survey. An absolute must if you want evidence that your students are growing
• Our final project is a Career Portfolio that incorporates the 10-year Plan
![Page 56: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
College and Career Readiness
• We achieve this through GFSF by:
• Exposing every student to the 15 industry sectors and pathways available on our campus
• Requiring every student to research and articulate the education and training necessary for their specific career interest
• Educating students on the various college systems in California and financial aid available to them

CHS Student = SBCC Student• Because the course was part of our students’
regular school day, we realized that freshmen quickly forgot that they were college students. In order to remind them we:• Hung an SBCC banner in the classroom
• Brought all students on a campus tour and had them attend a CTE fair
• Had a representative from the dual enrollment program speak to our Freshmen Seminar Classes on College and Career Readiness
![Page 61: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
At the End of Our First Year We Saw
Huge Gains!
![Page 62: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Pre and Post-Test Demonstrated:
• A clearer understanding of how high school is relevant to the “real” world
• An appreciation for how hard parents work in order to provide
• A drop in suspension/expulsion rates• An increase in enrollment in both AP and CTE
courses
![Page 63: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Now What?
• We had an entire class of students who had 10-year plans, similar vocabulary, and conversation points
• We did not want this to simply be one class, one year, we wanted these positive changes to continue throughout the next three years
![Page 64: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
One Graduating Class at a Time...• We presented a brief summary of the Career Choices
curriculum at a faculty meeting, but our main focus was on the 10th grade teachers
• We held a professional development training for the teachers who primarily taught the 10th grade
• We brought in a student panel to share their experience
• We showed them the curriculum, had them go online to the 10 year plan, and explained our vision for the next three years
• Our hope being that every year each student would revisit and update their 10-Year Plan as they progress through Carpinteria High School..and it’s happening through the GFSF modules!!
• Motivated students also started the GFSF club!
![Page 65: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
In Conclusion, GFSF Provides:
• Equal access to information for every student
• A necessary foundation for every student to make decisions regarding their future
• Exposure to the various career industries
• Confidence that they can, in fact, take and succeed in a college level course

Career Choices Relates to Career Pathways & Academies• Career Choices informs students about pathways
available at their school• Dual Enrollment offers classes in all local academies• Dual Enrollment works closely with all academy
directors• Participation in industry-based advisory meetings• The SB 70 Grant sponsors professional development
activities

GFSF Initiative: Potential Pitfalls
• 9th graders understanding what it means to be enrolled in a college course
• Instructors teaching with college rigor• Struggling student issues• Funding for textbooks and consumable
workbooks• Logistics of implementing the online 10-Year
Plan• Touch points (from the college perspective) of
connecting with students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades
• The need for a point person at the college and the high school for frequent interaction
![Page 69: Wipeout Dropout: How to Improve High School](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022013013/58a339181a28aba5548bcd24/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
GFSF Initiative: Potential Pitfalls
• Finding the appropriate college department can be tricky
• Most community colleges would choose to “house” the course in their Personal Development department, which requires a Master’s Degree in Counseling
• SBCC has a “Professional Development” department, which requires a Bachelor’s Degree. In order to be acceptable to all parties at the College, no psychometrics (Myers Briggs, etc.) could be included in the course

Importance of Follow-up
• Updating the 10-year Plan• Fostering students’self-awareness of
growth and change• Adapting plans in line with work-force
trends• Knowing the appropriate major and which
schools offer that major

Importance of Follow-Through• Students learn to set goals, but equally
important is acting on and achieving goals
• Providing tools to make successful transitions and to develop professional and educational portfolios
• Students learn to self-advocate
