2025 CCRSM Partners Connect

Grades, Behavior, Attendance, OH MY! Last spring, Mrs. Villarreal and her team reflected on their growth areas, not only for ECHS and PTech students but also for program policies and procedures. By summer, Mrs. Villarreal began the program's strategic planning process using OBMs, TEA Blueprint artifacts, and student performance and persistence data. The main focus was wrap-around invention services regarding attendance, grades, and behavior expectations. Students needed more support in each category as a whole. Significant change has been observed after new policies and procedures were implemented. In this session, we will review and share documents that contain chain of command systems from student to ECHS Administrator, as well as policies and support procedures that are easy to follow and transparent. Overall, the programs have seen significant improvements.

The objective of the presentation is to teach dual enrollment staff and partners the benefits of the Faculty Concern Record, and encourage them to implement a similar process at their institutions.

Benefits of using the Faculty Concern Record includes:
1. Collaboration between faculty, dual credit staff, and the high school partner
2. Documentation of students' performance
3. A tool to track performance to potentially get ahead of a change in academic standing

The ACD CCMR Toolkit consists of several artifacts that we use at the district level to support our college high school programs teams and ISD’s that are developing ECHS/PTECH’s. We base our fundamental pillars on the DEEP Research framework and create tools with “equity” in mind.
This session will focus on the “why” of our efforts and provide real world applications to artifacts created to discuss the “how”. This work has proven to be transformational in our region and can certainly support others as they work toward building strong CCMR models across their colleges.

In this session, participants will gain an insight into the many intricacies surrounding the high school experience through the lens of administrators, educators, and pupils. Students and teachers were asked two simple questions, yet their responses were profound and may cause your eyes to sweat while you assess your vision and overall eye health.

Student success is a multi-faceted team effort! We will present innovative ways of supporting students together as secondary and higher education partners. Learn what we do to provide effective academic and social/emotional support and how we expand the roles of students, teachers, and academic advisors to equip students with 21st century skills.
