Using Improvement Science as a lens, the High School Principal Network will meet four times during the school year, with the goal being to share best practices, increase all metrics related to the eight State Priority areas, with an emphasis on college/career readiness. The principals will be encouraged to bring up to two key leaders from their campuses to the network meetings. Participating principals will also be engaged in learning walks on each other’s campuses. Specific goals include increasing the percentage of students applying to three or more colleges, increasing the percentage of FAFSA/Dream Act completions to 93% through school years 18-19, increasing the percentage of students enrolling in postsecondary education from to 65%, and decreasing the amount of students needing remediation upon entering college. To increase college access, the network will incorporate strategies such as professional development opportunities for high school counselors on FAFSA/Dream Act preparation and completion, and the integration of FAFSA/Dream Act completion into school curriculum.
