Preparing students for Postsecondary Transitions:
- Is your school community satisfied
with your current achievement levels?
- Is your school community satisfied with the level of collaboration between parents and teachers?
- Has your school community achieved
equity in course enrollment, extracurricular activity involvement, and grading distribution patterns?
Mychal Wynn can help you face these challenges
and increase student success. A product of urban education, he has made the journey from a low-performing student, raised
in poverty to an internationally recognized expert and author of 25 published works.
Mr.
Wynn knows how to work with teachers, motivate students, and inspire parents. As Stephen Covey notes in his book, Principle-Centered
Leadership, “There is no quick fix, where you can just move in and make everything right with a positive mental
attitude and a bunch of success formulas.” Mr. Wynn can assist your stakeholders understand that such arduous as:
- developing clearly-defined Mission,
- developing a clearly stated Vision,
- creating a climate and culture based
on core values and common beliefs, and
- gathering and analyzing disaggregate student achievement and course enrollment data cannot be
avoided.
Focusing on making AYP (Annual Yearly Progress) and
raising students to minimum proficiency levels is inadequate to prepare students for the next millenium!
Children of color and children of poverty have struggled for so long that
many believe focusing on increasing high school graduation rates is a lofty enough aspiration. Mr. Wynn challenges that thinking
through careful analysis of disaggregate student data:
- The importance of beginning the postsecondary discussion in preschool.
- The importance of ensuring that minority
and migrant families know how to assist their children in navigating their local schools.
- The importance of developing effective elementary
to middle and middle to high school transition strategies.
- The importance of engaging in discussions regarding P-16 alignment of curriculum,
instruction, assessment, and expectations.
- Giving students ownership of their own learning by ensuring that they enter middle school with
7-year college-bound plans.
