BCPS Administration Professional DevelopmentTips for Improving Student Bright Futures Attainment

&Broward Technical Colleges as a Post Secondary Option

Vicky LaPorteAtlantic Technical College and Technical High School

July 31, 2018

Why is Bright Futures Attainment Important?68% of BCPS High School Students have indicated low SES according to the FRD rate

Scholarship opportunities will be fundamental for continuing postsecondary education

Graduates opt to attend a state college in lieu of a university for financial reasons or not getting into the university of choice; additional students opt to attend college part-time for financial reasons

According to Forbes Magazine (Student Loan Debt in 2017: a $1.3 Trillion Crises), the average student in Class of 2016 has $37,172 in student loan debt

Many students are able to achieve the minimum GPA requirement for Bright Futures, but have

difficulty attaining the SAT/ACT score requirement

ATC Example (Class of 2017): 45% of students were GPA eligible for the Bright Futures

Academic Scholars, but only 13% received it due to not attaining the 1290 SAT/29 ACT requirement.

39% of students were GPA eligible for the Bright Futures Medallion Scholars, but only 19% received it due to not attaining the 1170 SAT/26 ACT requirement

How can we make our students college/university dreams more attainable?

Focus on SAT-Prep!Additional Benefits of improved SAT scores:•Students have a greater chance of being accepted at their university of choice•Students who are having difficulty meeting the required score on FSA-ELA and/or Algebra 1 may meet the requirement via SAT concordant scores

Students see value in the PSAT/SAT tests, therefore they put more emphasis into preparation

•Practicing and improving verbal (EBRW) and math skills will improve quality of work in all classes

Literacy:Essay & Language

English DepartmentWriting and Language Test preparation
