ADMS707 Niemeyer Mission Effectiveness

shared by REL N on 19 Apr 11 - No Cached
  • A majority say their school wasn't good at helping them choose a field of study, aiding them in finding the right college or vocational school or assisting them in coming up with ways to pay for more schooling.
  • getting students ready for work remains central to high schools' mission.
  • most young people say their school didn't do a good job of preparing them for work or helping them choose a future career.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The one category where young people rated high schools best was preparing them for further education: 56 percent say their school did a good or excellent job at that.
  • 4 in 10 young people voice strong satisfaction with their high school education.
  • Dill, now 21, self-employed and living with her father in Arcadia, La., thinks high schools should offer juniors and seniors workshops on how to get a job, how to build a career and the many educational options besides a four-year degree.
  • Almost half of college attendees feel that the schools "get" them. That's significantly more than among those whose education stopped at high school; just 3 in 10 say the school system could identify with them.
  • Nonwhite students were more likely than whites to say their high school counselors helped them, and also gave their high schools better ratings for helping find money for college.

    Thanks for sharing. This is true and in my case and majority of my peers. My success in going to college goes to my mentors!

    Spokesperson from the Broad Superintendents Academy. So... tell me again why someone who has a track record as a strong leader in diverse and large organizations; surrounds her/himself (as a strong leader would do) with and listens to functional/discipline experts; and has more experience addressing financial, organizational, and HR issues than traditional superintendents should not be considered a viable (and maybe even preferable) candidate than someone who is a practitioner whose paradigm is a well run classroom rather than effective (not efficiency at the expense of the core mission and values) organizations?
