Post-Secondary Enrollment
"Another example of the importance of teacher-student relationships in high school students stems from intervention studies aimed at improving academic outcomes for low-income students...
...students who participated in the intervention [of positive relationships between students/teachers] SIGNIFICANTLY improved their GPA"
(Murray & Malmgren, 2005)
"teacher-student relationships have an impact on the academic self-esteem of students" (Ryan et al., 1994)
"Self-confidence and future aspirations have a significant impact on students’ interest in school, their academic self-efficacy and in turn, their academic achievement" (Wentzel, 2003)
"In addition to academic achievement, positive teacher-student relationships provide important social outcomes for students"

INTENTIONALITY:
- Strategic recruitment
- Reliance on relationships
- Use expertise of school personnel
STARTING WITH IHS
- Interlake first, then evaluate/adjust
- expand to other schools by maximizing connections
WE RECOGNIZE...
- most organizations don't effectively partner with those who know the kids best (staff and families)
- We WILL: our unique approach is to RELY on those partnerships (families, school, NPOs)
INTENTIONAL RECRUITMENT:
target marginalized students (i.e. race, language, disability, income, etc.)
ADDRESS BARRIERS: passing all classes, college apps/tours, SAT/ACT, researching college supports on campus
anything helps!
- working with students after school
- fundraising/grant writing
- social media
- organizing events
- board member
- recruiting students, families, and/or community partners
