File Attachment:
Summary: As a participating district in the Riverside County Education Collaborative (RCEC), Perris Union High School District has been invited to attend the National Postsecondary Strategy Institute (NPSI) Chicago Convening. The RCEC has been invited as a result of the ongoing progress that the collaborative has shown in key college and career readiness indicators. Julie Zierold, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, will be representing the District at the Institute in Chicago.

The Convening Objectives are:

1) Increase understanding of factors that contribute to a strong districtwide college and career readiness framework aligned to school based accountability measures.

2) Provide examples of how to use data, research, and community-based partnerships to increase student-level outcomes.

Participants will work toward a college and career readiness framework for their district that can be utilized to:

1) Structure a collaborative college and career readiness framework across a district and within schools.

2) Develop strategies to start and sustain the work.

3) Identify accountability measures to measure results.

Convening Activities The National Postsecondary Strategy Institute (NPSI) is focused on the strategies, structures, accountability, and sustainability mechanisms for a district to advance their college and career outcomes.

At the conclusion of convening, the RCEC will have identified key student success indicators, and developed/refined District data to track student outcomes, analyzed formative and outcome data to assess student progress around research, and prioritized the development or expansion of college and career readiness programs and identified where additional programs are needed. The development of an action plan to implement will be the final product of the RCEC and the Perris Union High School District. The RCEC will fund the conference cost, and each district is responsible to fund the travel and lodging expenses for the convening.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2017-18 operating budget funded through the Educator Effectiveness Grant.
