What’s the Data Telling Us

Below is a slide show of the team’s current set of shared data. This data is used at each monthly meeting as part of the collaborative improvement process facilitated by the Partnership’s Backbone staff. It is used to help the team assess, adjust, and/or amplify its collaborative action strategies.

What ARE the collaborative action teamS doing?

Strategies & Action Team Information

In addition to the individual programs operated by each Partner organization, the members of the Future Ready Team have identified the following collaborative action strategies. There are currently Success Network Teams serving over 900 students at the following High Schools: Tam, Tomales, Redwood, and San Rafael.

Success Networks

Increase early, collaborative, whole-child intervention support.

Financial Aid

Improve support infrastructure.

College & Career Readiness Plans

Increase and improve communication, awareness and understanding of future readiness requirements for students and families.

LCAP/Blueprint Policy & Practice Shifts

Increase collaborative support for common policy or practice shifts associated with Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)/Blueprint action items such as: graduation requirements, standards based grading, project based learning, ethnic studies, multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), and shared data systems.

Postsecondary Bridging & Belonging

Improving transition to post-secondary programs.

Why "Future Ready"?

The term "Future Ready" best represents what Partners collectively believe is the team's overarching goal: To prepare students, socially, emotionally and academically, for any bright future of their choosing while also ensuring that all postsecondary pathways are open to all students after graduation.

 

Over the years, partners have identified the importance of how social, emotional, and academic factors impact future outcomes for students. Partners have identified that while they share a common goal of postsecondary attainment for all students, they recognize that each student's postsecondary pathway might look different as they follow their own dreams.

What happened to CRAT, CEAT, Enrollment Teams?

In order to continue the work started last year weaving together the work of the Plan, Enrollment, KEDO, and Completion teams, we’re bringing everyone together as a Future Ready dream team. Starting September 23, 2021, we will begin having partners from these teams meet as a single group to better integrate all of the strategies that are working toward educational equity in college and career readiness, enrollment, and completion (while still using small groups to move the action forward).
