    Community Vision Council: Learning and Earning for Life

    GOAL:
    To increase lifelong learning and success in the workplace.

    PRIORITY:
    • Increase high school graduation rates.

    RESULTS:
    The High School Transition Initiative has moved beyond its pilot program at 18 Cleveland Metropolitan School District grade schools in 2006 to include 64 additional K-8 schools for its eighth-grade program and 34 high schools/middle schools for its ninth-grade program in 2007. About 3,000 students attended a High School and College Fair that promoted participation in the initiative's program. An evaluation of the High School Transition program is being conducted and the report will be presented in 2008.

    NEXT STEPS:
    High School Transition coordinators will invite program participation from other teachers besides the social studies teachers currently teaching the transition lessons. Program evaluation will continue in 2008 to adjust and improve teacher training and lesson implementation.
