College And Career Navigator
The College and Career Navigator (CCN) is a full-time 185-day position in School District. CCN's provide direct services and interventions to a cohort of students by organizing and conducting college access lessons and activities both within and outside school hours. Activities include organizing and sponsoring school clubs, conducting college tours, arranging for job shadowing and mentoring opportunities, and by providing out-of-school-time learning experiences including overnight and weekend activities around leadership, college access and awareness.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the CCN time will be engaging with parents to promote financial understanding and literacy of college costs and responsibilities to both the student and family during the educational journey. CCN's will meet with students and families, individually and collectively, to develop a plan for post-secondary success. The services will vary depending upon the grade level of the students.
The CCN will work with families and students for as long, and as intensively, as needed to assist each student in becoming college and career ready, and selecting and adjusting to post-secondary education or training programs. The College and Career Navigator will monitor individual student data using an Early Warning System to ensure that interventions occur as soon as signs of concern rise (attendance issues, discipline referrals, etc.).
