Strauzie overview 2 min7College Access TimeCAT stands for
College Access Time, which is another name for advisory. CAT may go
by different names in different schools (e.g., MAP or Advisory),
but it is a common element of JCPS efforts to improve high schools.
Increased College Access: Small group meetings (CAT) that support
strong relationships with an adult who is on my case and on my
side; positive peer relationships around common career interests;
and college readiness.

Strauzie: 2minReview job description and roles CARTS play as
connector with community.9Mingle, Mingle Huddle, HuddlePurpose:
This activity is to spark conversations between colleagues about
any subject the facilitator chooses. It could be used for a
controversial subject or a new initiative, this works for just
about anything. It is particularly helpful in large groups of
people who do not know each other.
Process:Have the group stand up and mingle: greeting each other
with names and roles much like at a party.The facilitator then
calls out to huddle and a number representing group size. For
example, Huddle, 4. Pose a question or a statement to the group.
Displaying on a power point slide may help in larger group. Give
them a certain time period to discuss their answers (be sure to
include enough time for all group members to participate)Have
groups report something from their discussion
