You'll learn:

  • How incoming freshman students can develop a meaningful and quantitative 10-year plan
  • Strategies for using each student's 10-year plan throughout high school and into college for advisory functions and academic coaching
  • Best practices from schools that have experienced success with this process

You'll come away with:

  • A proven curriculum that helps students recognize the value of education and the importance of staying in school
  • Techniques and tools for integrating academics and technology in this process
  • Strategies and resources for getting buy-in from all stakeholders
  • Information about funding opportunities – now and in the future
