Post-WASL Statement
Students with their families will have the
knowledge, skill & understanding to prepare for
the student’s chosen academic and/or career &
technical post-high school plan.
Information, services & programs will be
systematically provided to students & families
for students to meet individual needs.

The portfolio was poorly organized & I didn't
always know what was going in to my portfolio.
It was difficult to organize because I didn't
have access to it before my senior year.

Where are we?
What does the data say?
Culture of poverty…
45% of MBHS receive free or reduced lunch
“In practical terms, because children living in persistent
poverty appear to be at greater risk for serious academic
failure, their potential contribution to society remains
limited.”
From Ruby Payne’s A Framework
for Understanding Poverty

How will we keep improving?
(Evaluate the plan)
• Data, data, data,
• Further refine scope and sequence
• Use this process to improve the portfolio
• Continue to build relationships
• Teamwork
This is good but…what do I really
need to know?
• Communicate, communicate, communicate
• Navigation as a means, NOT the end
• Go to the pressure
• The main thing is to keep the main thing the
main thing. –Steven Covey
• Use the data to SUPPORT, not tear down
• Make it foolproof
We’d love to help.
