Who We Serve Defining the Roles of Redesigned
Schools
Who do we serve and
why? Know your data Recruitment is a process
not an event
Objectives
“Old School” vs. “New School”
1. Take 2 minutes and brainstorm: “What does the student population of an Innovative High School look like…and what are the challenges faced in creating that vision…”2. Share with you table your conclusions….(3 minutes)
3. Share out
“Innovative schools aim to graduate students who earn a high school diploma as well as two years of transferable college credit or an associate degree – all at no cost to their families. The target population for early colleges is first-generation college-goers, those at-risk of dropping out or other historically underserved populations.” –(New Schools Website)
Finding the Important Words
What words stand out to you? (2 minutes)

“At Risk”
“low achievement, retention in grade, behavior problems, poor attendance, low socioeconomic status” -Morris, R. (2000). Curriculum for at-risk students. Carrollton, GA: State
University of West Georgia. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED 443 809
Guiding Questions:1. How do you feel about high school students that have low
achievement and behavior problems on a college campus?2. Where do you draw the line between low achievement and low
ability?3. What's the difference between challenging a student and setting a
student up for failure?4 minutes
A student who neither parent has graduated
from a 4 year (Traditional) College or University at the time of High School Enrollment
“First Generation”
Vague idea of who to serve:
First Generation At Risk Traditionally Underrepresented in College
Solid Concept of the Goal Graduate from High School 2 years college credit/associate degree Matriculate to University/Life Plan
So “what” do we know now?
Now we gotta go find them…..
Figure out “who” is in your school/district
(data) Examine how they got there (process) Set attainable goals for
recruitment/enrollment (future) Communicate with your boss and College (job
security)
