DEFINING MOTIVATION & ENGAGEMENT• Future Orientation & Self-Management:
I have goals & will overcome barriers that get in my way• Self-Efficacy & Growth Mindset
I can be successful in school and school is relevant to me• Sense of Belonging & Connectedness
I belong in, and can contribute to, this school and community• Interpersonal Skills
I can communicate and work with others, and ask for help when I need it
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATION RESULTS WORKGROUP
YD FOR ED RESULTS WORK (Summer & Fall 2012)
• Pilot “Student Success Skills & Dispositions” section on CEE’s Educational Effectiveness Survey in Middle & High Schools in Road Map Region
• Continued focus on defining and measuring 21st Century Skills (Critical Thinking, Creativity, etc.) with STEM, arts and others
• Pursue “Survey Builder” and aligning youth development CBOs to measure same constructs + broader list of youth outcomes
• Focus Groups with Youth about Student Success Skills - Are these the right constructs? How are they built?
WHY? To increase strategies and practices to improve these “non-academic” - but critical to success - indicators

Original Road Map

Graduate from high school --college and career-ready
Earn a college degree or
career credential
We will set targets and report our progress for on-track indicators across the continuum:1
Readiness AttainmentAchievement
• % of children meeting kindergarten readiness standards 2
• Pre-K indicator TBD
• % of students graduating high school meeting HEC minimum entrance requirements
• % of high school graduates who completed a career/technical education program
• % of students graduating from high school on time
• % of high school graduates who take developmental education courses in college
• % of students who earn a postsecondary credential by age 26
• % of students who enroll in postsecondary education
• % of students who persist year to year
We will set 2014, 2017 and 2020 targets for the following on-track indicators. 1
• % of students proficient in:- 3rd grade reading- 4th grade math- 5th grade science- 6th grade reading- 7th grade math- 8th grade science
• % of 9th graders who pass end of course algebra exam
• % of students triggering Early Warning Indicator #1 3
• % of students triggering Early Warning Indicator #2 4
1These indicators represent those the “on-track” indicators for the Road Map Project, and have associated targets for 2014, 2017, and 2020 against which the Road Map Project will track progress. We will also track progress for a longer set of indicators (see reverse side) where associated targets have not been set. Wherever possible we will disaggregate by race, ethnicity, income, and gender. 2Measured by WaKIDS = Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills and/or DIBELS = Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy. 3 Triggering Early Warning #1 would entail having 6 or more absences and at least one course failure in the 9th grade. 4 Triggering Early Warning #2 would entail having a Suspension and/or Expulsion in the 9th grade.
Indicator Revision Process
Directions for Live Survey:
“On-track” indicators are the core measures representing the Road Map Project. They will be reported annually and have defined targets.
“Reported” indicators are monitored and included in the annual report without defined targets.
“Tracked” indicators are monitored and may be used in topical or special analyses but are not included in regular reports.
“Not collected” measures are beyond the scope of interest of the Road Map Project OR data is problematic or unavailable.

Note: ERN attendees also gave input on ideas around parent and family engagement that will be used in implementation.
Examples of Feedback• This work needs to start in middle school• Incorporate “nontraditional” students, including students on alternative
pathways• Importance of parent/family involvement in ALL of this work• Where do specific strategies for ELL students and undocumented students
fit in?• Help students connect education to career, students need to see the
purpose• Get more specific on policies, and identify policies that address the
“tracking” of students• Incorporate out-of-school time; community-based organizations play an
important role and need to be more visible in the Action Plan• We need to support College Bound students once they are enrolled in
postsecondary• Need to include universities too, not just community colleges

Road Map Transcript Follow-Up Study
Does math course-taking matter for college enrollment and persistence?
Agenda
• Study Purpose• Guiding Questions• Study Demographics• Types of Findings Available in the Report• Summary/Discussion
Study’s Purpose
• Study designed to further analyze 2010 graduates’ high school transcripts from the Road Map schools to provide additional information about math course-taking patterns in relation to college enrollment.
Guiding Questions What is the highest level of math students are taking in high
school and middle school? When do students take their last math course?
Does math course-taking matter for whether students attend college and what type of college (2-year or 4-year college)?
Does math course-taking matter for whether students persist in college?
Study Definitions• College Enrollment:
– Not-College Direct - high school graduates who did not attend either a two- or four-year college any time in the academic year immediately following their high school graduation
– College Direct - high school graduates who attended either a two- or four-year college any time in the academic year immediately following their high school graduation
• College Path:– 2-year college– 4-year college
What is the highest level of math students are taking in high school?
• By District:

Does math course-taking matter for whether students attend college and what type of college?
• Set of logistic regressions to predict college enrollment and college path
• Findings:
• Entry level and Exit level math course significantly related to college enrollment and to college path
• Taking middle school algebra significantly related to college enrollment and to college path
• Last year of math important for college enrollment and college path
• GPA also an important predictor
Does math course-taking matter for whether students persist in college?
College persistence: students attending college during 2010-2011 school year and then returned for 2011-2012 school year
Performed set of logistic regressions to determine factors predicting college persistence
GPA + MS Algebra = College Persistence
GPA + MS Algebra + Entry Level Math = College Persistence
GPA + MS Algebra + Entry Level Math + Exit Level Math = College Persistence
Summary of Findings• College direct students took more rigorous math
• College direct students more likely to have taken a math class senior year and more likely to attend 4-year college
• Both courses and grades (GPA) important in predicting college enrollment
• Students taking higher levels of math at entry and exit have better chance of being college direct and of attending a 4-year college
• GPA and exit level math associated with increased likelihood of persisting in college
