11am – 12pm MST, 4 March 2027 ‐ 1 hour

Room: Willow Lake 5

Workshop Sessions

Doubling graduation rates and significantly increasing postsecondary matriculation takes more than academic interventions. It requires a culture of high expectations, strong relationships, and individualized support for each student.

Hear how one school achieved these results by using continuous data review to identify barriers, target resources, and monitor student progress. Explore the strategies behind its approach, including:

• Keeping students on track: Individualized graduation plans, credit audits, and progress monitoring.
• Expanding opportunities: More relevant course offerings and pathways connected to students' future goals.
• Coordinating interventions: Attendance monitoring, home visits, family outreach, credit recovery, and cross-team collaboration.
• Strengthening postsecondary readiness: College and career exploration, application support, FAFSA assistance, and college visits.

Learn how these efforts supported students with disabilities and historically underserved groups, and gain practical examples for strengthening graduation outcomes and postsecondary transitions at your school.
