+Purpose of Today’s Session on Graduation
Graduation from high school is the culmination of years of hard work on the part of each student, educator, family member and community. Graduation rates are one important metric to provide educators and community members a broader state picture of the health of the education system. Staff from the Oregon Department of Education will share statewide data and engage participants in conversation regarding current challenges and opportunities.

+Don’t Call Them Dropouts: Understanding the Experiences of Young People Who Leave High School Before Graduation (America’s Promise Alliance 2014) Cluster of Factors Both disengaging from
and re-engaging with school result from a variety of factors.
Yearning for Connections
Connectedness to others is a high priority for young people. The value placed on these relationships can lead young people away from or toward school.
Toxic Environments Young people who stop going
to school are likely to be navigating toxic home/school/ neighborhood environments.
Resilience in Need of Support
Young people who interrupted their HS education often returned from difficult circumstances and needed additional support.

Reflection/Sharing
Small group discussion
1. Based on the information shared and your own experiences in Oregon, what prevents young people from staying engaged and graduating from high school?
2. What other barriers exist in Oregon?
In small group with colleagues around you (4-5), reflect on and share experiences in your own districts about the graduation issue in Oregon.
Use post-it notes to document your groups’ ideas.
+Ideas for a Theory of Action
If the state/my district…
Implemented an attendance
support program/attendan
ce policy…
Then more students will
graduate from high school
Based on your small group discussion about policy and engagement barriers to graduation, develop a Theory of Action to address this issue.
