Graduate Yelm!
Partners in Our Network
November 14, 2019
Each student will be on a path (starting in kindergarten)
to graduation, continuing education and work.
GRADUATION READINESS
A recent Harvard Study found that only 3% of the graduates wrote down their goals. Those 3% out earned the other 97% by ten-fold. Goal setting that is visible and reviewed regularly produces amazing results. Our students begin in 1st grade defining what a goal is. By high school, students design personal SMART goals to meet their education and career plans. These are recorded in an electronic portfolio and shared publicly during student conferences.
Tips for Partners:
- Model goal setting for students
- Ask a student about a short or long-term goal
- Celebrate a student's goal achievement by making an announcement in your business, publishing on a bulletin board or sending them a note of congratulations
SPEAKING OF GOALS: We have 111 partners of our 150, and 24 personal pledges of 100. We are making public statements of our goal as often as possible. John Johnson closed his interview with Chris Egen on King 5 with Graduate Yelm! How are you showing your support?
