 NCLIFELINES: Mentoring
through Social Networking


    This proposal is for a technology grant
     to be used to implement a mentoring
      program at Crawdad High School in
            Alamance County, NC
Executive Summary
    The Crawdad High School Library Media
Center, located in Alamance County, NC,
proposes to purchase four hundred tablets,
Google Nexus 7, to provide the student body
with access to programs for online mentoring to
provide support for enhancing student
performance on end-of-course assessments,
exploring career and vocational skills,
developing social skills for transitioning into
higher education or the workplace.
Project Description
• Crawdad High School is in danger of being identified as low
  performing.
• We are submitting a proposal to create a mentoring program using
  social networking that will focus on assisting students with creating
  career goals and obtaining job skills.
• The proposed program, LIFELINE Mentoring, will use the existing
  Student Services Team to identify at-risk students and match them
  with two mentors, one in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and an
  online mentor through the Future for Kids.org program.
• Students will be issued a laptop for use in classes and as a means
  for communicating with these online mentors while completing the
  career exploration activities of the F4K.org’s Career Cruising
  services.
• The LIFELINE program will be an innovative use of technology to
  promote learning and mentoring by using social media to introduce
  students to successful adults who can serve as role models.
• The successful implementation of this program will need the
  participation of all students and staff, as well as support from
  community and business leaders.
Rationale
• Crawdad High School is a small rural school with a student
  body of 400 students and a staff of 36 teachers, one media
  coordinator, school psychologist, guidance counselor and two
  administrators, as well as a representative from the district
  juvenile court system.
• The student body has a 3% minority population, a 60% pass
  rate for end-of-course standardized state tests, a high drop-
  out rate (37% compared to a state average of 77.9%) and a
  high teen pregnancy rate.
• Although the school has not been designated as low-
  performing, it has all the earmarks of a school in decline.
• Other factors that impact the overall low educational
  performance of students at the school are high rates of
  generational poverty, a majority of parents who have not
  earned a high school diploma and even fewer who have any
  college experience.
• Community support for education is minimal.
Partners
• There are partnerships in place in response to the need for
  improvement.
• Communities in Schools has started a Big Brother/Big Sister
  program to mentor students on the importance of completing
  their high school education and perhaps continuing to post-
  secondary education.
• The school has established a Student Services Team to
  identify at-risk students and enroll them in the program.
• In addition to the mentoring program, the school is also utilizing
  its Workforce Development program to provide students with
  job-training skills which can be used to help them find
  employment after graduation.
• The LIFELINE Mentoring program will use the curriculum of the
  Career Technical Education program as outlined in the
  Standard Course of Study and Common Core Essential
  Standards.
Evidence
Funds from the Awards for Excellence Grant and other
  matching funds will be used to:
• implement the school-wide program by purchasing tablets
  for students and staff.
• provide teachers with professional development on the
  incorporation of technology in instructional delivery.
• maintain the hardware and software of the system.

Since the primary software for the program is free to all
  schools in North Carolina who maintain a vocational
  education curriculum, the cost of sustaining the program
  after the grant has ended will be covered by local funds
  and other grant programs.
Anticipated Difficulties
• Training needed for students and staff
• The development of community partnerships
• Adjusting the curriculum to provide more vocational and technical
  education courses
• Addressing issues related to the cultural changes needed to
  effectively implement the program

       Resolving the Issues
• Provide professional staff development on (1) understanding effects of poverty, (2)
  incorporating Career & Tech Readiness skills in the regular curriculum, (3) role of
  mentoring/educating the whole child--Comer Model from Yale would be excellent
  for this, (4) incorporating technology in everyday instruction.
• Establish policies regarding the use and care of the technology and share the
  information with the staff and students.
• Build strong community partnerships with local churches, civic and business
  organizations--approach community leaders such as town council members,
  Better Business Bureau, Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, etc.
Outcomes
A successful implementation of the LIFELINE
  Mentoring program will be measured by:
• a decrease in the drop-out rate by 2% by the end
  of the 2013-2014 school year.
• an increase in end-of-course test performance
  from 60% to 65%.
• an overall increase in the daily attendance rate
  by 10%.
• an increase in the use of technology by
  classroom teachers for instruction as
  documented by lesson plans.
Evaluation of Results
• To monitor the outcomes of the program, the Student
  Services Team will develop a plan of routine evaluation and
  data collection.
• The team will collect data on daily student attendance; they
  will also collect benchmark test data from mid-term
  administrations and from the end of the year administration.
• Particular emphasis will be placed on growth in the VoCATS
  testing for Career and Technical Education.
• Also results from student credential programs will be collected
  and monitored.
• A school climate survey will be given at the beginning of the
  year to students, parents, community leaders and staff
  members and again at the mid-year and end of the year.
   Results will be analyzed for growth in perceptions of effective
  teaching, and overall use of technology for learning.
Results Dissemination
• Results from the data collection process will be shared with the
  School Improvement Team before a presentation to the full staff
  during staff meetings throughout the year.
• A summary of the results will then be shared with community leaders
  and the general public.
• Local news media
• School publications such as newsletters
• Direct mailings
• Presentations at Parent, Teacher, Student organization meetings
• Electronic bulletin/display marques on the school campus and at the
  central office of the school district
• School website
• Public Education Government Access channel.
Budget
• The total proposed budget for the implementation of the
  LIFELINE Mentoring Program is $165,660.
• This total includes the 150,000 from the AWARDS FOR
  EXCELLENCE.
• Additional grants will come from the Intel Community
  Giving Grants and the Foundation for Rural Education
  Grants.
• Funds from local businesses.
• Additional funds from the LEA budget for 2012-2013
  school year will be used for incidental expenditures.

  • 1. Carol Swain Rebecca Pintuff Jared Brush NCLIFELINES: Mentoring through Social Networking This proposal is for a technology grant to be used to implement a mentoring program at Crawdad High School in Alamance County, NC
  • 2. Executive Summary The Crawdad High School Library Media Center, located in Alamance County, NC, proposes to purchase four hundred tablets, Google Nexus 7, to provide the student body with access to programs for online mentoring to provide support for enhancing student performance on end-of-course assessments, exploring career and vocational skills, developing social skills for transitioning into higher education or the workplace.
  • 3. Project Description • Crawdad High School is in danger of being identified as low performing. • We are submitting a proposal to create a mentoring program using social networking that will focus on assisting students with creating career goals and obtaining job skills. • The proposed program, LIFELINE Mentoring, will use the existing Student Services Team to identify at-risk students and match them with two mentors, one in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program and an online mentor through the Future for Kids.org program. • Students will be issued a laptop for use in classes and as a means for communicating with these online mentors while completing the career exploration activities of the F4K.org’s Career Cruising services. • The LIFELINE program will be an innovative use of technology to promote learning and mentoring by using social media to introduce students to successful adults who can serve as role models. • The successful implementation of this program will need the participation of all students and staff, as well as support from community and business leaders.
  • 4. Rationale • Crawdad High School is a small rural school with a student body of 400 students and a staff of 36 teachers, one media coordinator, school psychologist, guidance counselor and two administrators, as well as a representative from the district juvenile court system. • The student body has a 3% minority population, a 60% pass rate for end-of-course standardized state tests, a high drop- out rate (37% compared to a state average of 77.9%) and a high teen pregnancy rate. • Although the school has not been designated as low- performing, it has all the earmarks of a school in decline. • Other factors that impact the overall low educational performance of students at the school are high rates of generational poverty, a majority of parents who have not earned a high school diploma and even fewer who have any college experience. • Community support for education is minimal.
  • 5. Partners • There are partnerships in place in response to the need for improvement. • Communities in Schools has started a Big Brother/Big Sister program to mentor students on the importance of completing their high school education and perhaps continuing to post- secondary education. • The school has established a Student Services Team to identify at-risk students and enroll them in the program. • In addition to the mentoring program, the school is also utilizing its Workforce Development program to provide students with job-training skills which can be used to help them find employment after graduation. • The LIFELINE Mentoring program will use the curriculum of the Career Technical Education program as outlined in the Standard Course of Study and Common Core Essential Standards.
  • 6. Evidence Funds from the Awards for Excellence Grant and other matching funds will be used to: • implement the school-wide program by purchasing tablets for students and staff. • provide teachers with professional development on the incorporation of technology in instructional delivery. • maintain the hardware and software of the system. Since the primary software for the program is free to all schools in North Carolina who maintain a vocational education curriculum, the cost of sustaining the program after the grant has ended will be covered by local funds and other grant programs.
  • 7. Anticipated Difficulties • Training needed for students and staff • The development of community partnerships • Adjusting the curriculum to provide more vocational and technical education courses • Addressing issues related to the cultural changes needed to effectively implement the program Resolving the Issues • Provide professional staff development on (1) understanding effects of poverty, (2) incorporating Career & Tech Readiness skills in the regular curriculum, (3) role of mentoring/educating the whole child--Comer Model from Yale would be excellent for this, (4) incorporating technology in everyday instruction. • Establish policies regarding the use and care of the technology and share the information with the staff and students. • Build strong community partnerships with local churches, civic and business organizations--approach community leaders such as town council members, Better Business Bureau, Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, etc.
  • 8. Outcomes A successful implementation of the LIFELINE Mentoring program will be measured by: • a decrease in the drop-out rate by 2% by the end of the 2013-2014 school year. • an increase in end-of-course test performance from 60% to 65%. • an overall increase in the daily attendance rate by 10%. • an increase in the use of technology by classroom teachers for instruction as documented by lesson plans.
  • 9. Evaluation of Results • To monitor the outcomes of the program, the Student Services Team will develop a plan of routine evaluation and data collection. • The team will collect data on daily student attendance; they will also collect benchmark test data from mid-term administrations and from the end of the year administration. • Particular emphasis will be placed on growth in the VoCATS testing for Career and Technical Education. • Also results from student credential programs will be collected and monitored. • A school climate survey will be given at the beginning of the year to students, parents, community leaders and staff members and again at the mid-year and end of the year. Results will be analyzed for growth in perceptions of effective teaching, and overall use of technology for learning.
  • 10. Results Dissemination • Results from the data collection process will be shared with the School Improvement Team before a presentation to the full staff during staff meetings throughout the year. • A summary of the results will then be shared with community leaders and the general public. • Local news media • School publications such as newsletters • Direct mailings • Presentations at Parent, Teacher, Student organization meetings • Electronic bulletin/display marques on the school campus and at the central office of the school district • School website • Public Education Government Access channel.
  • 11. Budget • The total proposed budget for the implementation of the LIFELINE Mentoring Program is $165,660. • This total includes the 150,000 from the AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE. • Additional grants will come from the Intel Community Giving Grants and the Foundation for Rural Education Grants. • Funds from local businesses. • Additional funds from the LEA budget for 2012-2013 school year will be used for incidental expenditures.
