The Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) Progression of Education Model (PEM) is outcome focused and targeted to high school and college freshmen; teams will leave Focus On Freshmen 2012 (FOF) with a concrete plan. Each session will be interactive, allowing participating teams to develop their own plan for beginning a Progression of Education Model. The workshop materials will include specific, structured worksheets to be completed sequentially in each session, leading to a comprehensive implementation plan by the conclusion of FOF.

Dual Enrollment coordinator for SBCCSession 1:
What’s in it for Me? Accountability measures for both college and high school
Dropout rates are a concern at both the high school and community college levels. This session will engage attendees in understanding critical areas of concern: factors impacting high school and college dropout rates, strategies at the programmatic and institutional levels to remedy dropout, reducing the need for remediation upon entering college, and improving accountability outcome measures.
Session 2:
SBCC Progression of Education Model (PEM): A comprehensive approach for assuring post-secondary success for EVERY student
Learn about the most successful California Dual Enrollment Program – how Santa Barbara City College built it, including relationship building and strategy. The PEM is built on the philosophy of a “backward mapping” approach from the completion of post secondary schooling to the transition from middle school to high school.
Session 3:
The Foundation program of PEM: A Dual Enrollment Freshman Transition (DEFT) Course
Learn the ins and outs of the SBCC Dual Enrollment Program. Specifics about the DEFT course, and its implementation in all four high schools in SBCC district as a college/dual enrollment course will be covered. Explore the elements of the Career Choices curriculum: Who am I? What do I want? How do I get it? and the online My10yearPlan.com. Gain useful supplemental resources and best practices from our local instructional “expert.”
Session 4:
The Key to Post-secondary Success: Follow-up curriculum for grades 10, 11 & 12 and all-school buy-in
The instructor is the heart of the classroom – learn how to select the best and engage the rest! The key to success is a school culture change in which ALL educators are part of the PEM vision and implementation. Attendees to this session will also be given sample curriculum for the 10th, 11th and 12th grade follow-up to the Career Choices 9th grade course.
Session 5:
Matriculating from Secondary to Post Secondary: A truly seamless approach
“Seamless transition” is a well-known phrase in the world of education. However, there is a significant gap between high school graduation and college entrance. In this session we will address this gap and you will learn how to shift from a “send-off” model to a “hand-off” success! Gain strategies for engaging high school and college counselors in the process.
Session 6:
Keeping the Focus: Students taking Ownership of their Future
The PEM affords all students access to the essential information, planning and skills necessary to enter college with a declared major, and the resources to navigate “the maze” of higher education. Students who took the DEFT course and follow-up modules in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade will utilize their 10-year career and education plan to make informed choices in post secondary settings. Students who did not have the opportunity to take the DEFT course or to create a 10-year plan, will do so in a college success course that utilizes the Career Choices & Changes college text. All participants in this strand will receive a copy of that college text.
Session 7:
Where Do We Go From Here? A Plan for Success
Participants will leave this final session with a well-developed and specific plan for implementing the PEM. Outcomes will include strategies for building relationships, tools for designing a comprehensive Dual Enrollment Program, and resources for implementing a DEFT course along with the follow up modules in the 10th, 11th and 12th grade.
While participants in this strand will learn how to implement a dual enrollment program and the Career Choices curriculum, the PEM can be implemented without a dual enrollment component.
