34 Practice Implications
35 Practice Implications The Counselor and Counseling Practices! How do we match counselors best suited to this population?! How do we assure that counselors for this population are committed to this job?! What additional training is needed for counselors to be effective?
36 Practice Implications The Critical Role of the IPDP! What should counselors include in their initial conversations with recipients?! Should we add a timeline with benchmarks?! How can we be sure that IPDP s are updated at least annually to reflect student growth?! How do enrich the content of discussions between counselors and recipients?
37 BEST PRACTICES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS Simple things! Ask participants when they want to be contacted! Ask participants how they want to be contacted (phone, mail, text, , etc)! Send a card, note, recognizing milestones or accomplishments! Call back again and again--persistence
38 What is this recipient's previous education? HS Diploma HS plus some courses AA, BA or Masters Degree This recipient may be anxious about going to school. Reach out to this recipient regularly to ensure they understand everything that is required of them to successfully register and attend classes and meet scholarship requirements. Counselors should seek to understand their educational goals. This recipient may be fairly comfortable with navigating the higher ed system. It is important to maintain good communication with this recipient, especially if they will be taking classes outside of their comfort level (gen ed) and to review scholarship requirements. This recipient is likely quite comfortable with the higher ed system. It is still important to check in with this recipient to ensure they receive the support they need to be successful, assess their educational goals and be sure they understand scholarship requirements.
39 BEST PRACTICES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS Bigger Ideas! Write or rewrite a handbook to define clear and concise roles and responsibilities! Consider how to implement face to face contacts! How to get commitment as well as contracts! Review how college relationships can be improved to support student success
40 Policy Implications
41 POLICY IMPLICATIONS! Should personal contact be required with recipients prior to award of contract?! What does it mean to be on contract?! Are recipients really clear about their responsibilities?! When in the course of a teacher s career should she/he be eligible for T.E.A.C.H.?! How do we assign or create caseloads?
42 NEW POLICIES for SCHOLARSHIP MANAGEMENT! Confirm intent and readiness of recipient prior to award of contract.! Issue and secure a signed Personal Responsibilities Agreement along with or prior to a contract.! Drop contracts at end of first semester IF there is no contact with recipient after 3 attempts.! Do not include Pending in your participation reports! Ensure that the IPDP is completed by end of first semester on contract and renew with each new contract.
