City college to do a little more here or us as sfusd and to leverage, you know, resources that were getting . Because i think its a big pie, and i want us to look at it that way and own our piece, as well. Right. That makes sense and i really appreciate all your support on that. Yeah. Thank you very much. All right. Trustee randolph. Just a few quick comment that was inspired by the commissioner here. I think you make a very good point about middle schoolers and elementary schoolers. I think the earlier you talk about Certificate Programs and c. T. S and trades, the more excited the students get. I want to point to, for example, long beach and l. A. I think thats why commissioner collins and i are so excited. Long beach and other districts around the country, middle schoolers actually design a symbol sign a symbolic contract when they enter high school. So part of that is they visit college campuses, they learn about college, and they sign a contract to themselves and to their peers that they will be going to college by the time they graduate from high school. So youre already creating a commitment by themselves to pursue excellence and to go to college. And that is inspirational, but it also creates a sense of hope and achievement. And actually, the interesting thing is i went to a presentation, and the trustee talked about when they talked to some of these middle schoolers, yes, theyre young, but theyre already listening and hearing their parents talk about affordability. Theyre listening to their parents at six, seven years old concerned about the cost of education. And they themselves know that they might not be able to go to college because theyre poor so creating that contract and creating the idea of saving for college or free city, thats why its important because it actually shows them that they dont have to worry about the cost. And no sixyearold or tenyearold should be worrying about the cost of education already impacting their idea about going to college, right . So thats something for us to figure out. So it might be time for us as a city to revitalize the San FranciscoCollege Program because we are doing the work, but it would be great to kind of put it all together and support it in that way. He supervisor haney thank you. Thank you for the presentation and taking so many questions. Im actually going to hold off on our questions and im going to bring up the folks for city college. Being okay. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Supervisor haney thank you. Okay. I think were ready. Good morning, committee members. My name is again is meg hudson. Im the dean of High School Programs at city college. And hi. Im 2k im doctor edie quayfer, director of high school affairs. And we will keep our presentation both because the previous presentation was so good. So on the other end, im the dean of High School Programs, and im really the point person working with sfusd around dual enrollment and coordinating very closely. But then, we also have an associate dean, alia verona, who couldnt be here, but she works on the Career Pathways and Strong Workforce Program which is also a big part of the work in terms of developing the course pathways that align with the high schools career programs into city college. And then, the coordination on the city college end involves a lot of different departments. Theres the the whole part, as weve talked about, of the courses and the curriculum and working with the academic departments, the deans and the chairs. But then, theres also a whole side of dual enrollment, which is the enrollment process, which is fairly complex and involves a lot of steps that we work with admissions and records, matriculation. And we talked about counseling and the disabled students programs and services are also involved. This slide is sort of in weve talked a little bit about these programs in joannas presentation. But just to give you an idea of the current numbers of students, as of fall, this is kind of a breakdown of the different types of dual enrollment, the models that joanna discussed and the courses that were that are currently the students are taking. And as joanna mentioned, our growth has really come from these. The top two lines are the cohorted levels, where you have whole classes and whole grade schools participating, and this is where weve seen the incredible growth of the program. We still do have a lot of students taking more traditional dual enrollment, which is when theyre going on their own, primarily, to city college, and taking a variety of courses. And then, theres a program that we didnt mention, which is a pretty large group of students. We have a pretty Strong Partnership around our noncredit traditional studies courses, where we have many sfusd students taking these courses for credit recovery. And this is a group that we wanted to bring on and nurture them as City College Students to help them start to identify as City College Students and help them transition to post secondary, so this is something that were working on. So some of the areas and again, i think joannas done a good job of kind of talking about our coordination around the course request process and, you know, kind of getting the information from the schools through our Central Office partners and then to ccsf and then working with the departments to schedule these classes. This is something that were constantly working on and communicating about. We have sort of a live spreadsheet that we share with all kinds of updates around this. And then, an Exciting Development this year is we have a shared position that is between the dual enrollment students and the ccsf office to help with that process. And some of you were around in fall 2016 when we signed our ab 288 Partnership Agreement, which is what allows us to have these classes at the high schools. And then, we also have another Partnership Agreement that we just put in place for all of our other classes. So you know, we have these documents that kind of define our work and, you know, how we how we operate together. And then, joanna mentioned that something that were releasing that were starting to really look at how we can kind of implement this and systematize professional development. Some of them dont have teaching experience, and some of them do, and were very fortunate when we find ccsf instructors with that background. But for many of them, its their first time Teaching High School students, and we do realize its something that we need to work on and improve. And then another area that were developing is some of our communication tools. And i know this was mentioned as something we can work on and really highlight this Incredible Program and the opportunities for students. So we passed out a couple examples of the materials that were working on. And this one, this practitioners guide, i think its helpful in outlining these different models that we have because it can be somewhat confusing for educators on both sides to understand what models are available, what they look like, how theyre scheduled, so thats the that document. And then, this is something that its still somewhat in draft form, but we wanted to share with you a flier that shows, again, the opportunity for dual enrollment. So it is something that we realize has to be communicated as a great opportunity for middle School Students and high School Students. And then, in terms of kind of where from ccsfs perspective, its something that we really want to kind of be able to look more longterm at i think for both of us, both organizations, we want to be able to kind of predict our pathways a little more. For the program is fairly new, and i think initially, a lot of the schools were so excited and didnt they didnt always know how to best utilize this great opportunity to offer classes. And so weve tried different courses, and, you know, i think were starting to get a better sense of which courses are successful for high School Students and how we can make these courses really lead to u. C. C. S. U. Transfer pathways or pathways into certificates or career options. So its something were still developing as to how you know, how to develop those pathways in a way that can be predictable, longterm, and really help us to to meet those you know, to meet our incredible growth in a in a stable way that we can sustain. And so i think one of the other areas that we need to look at, and i think the data, theres some great data that joanna showed, but we really want to track what happens to the students that have taken dual enrollment, and then, they come to ccsf. And its something that were still kind of working on developing, you know, those reports so we can see the benefit you know, how this has benefited how do the students do once they come to ccsf for post secondary if they have taken dual enrollment . How is it helping them to transfer or to complete, you know, complete their degrees . And we got this wonderful email from one of our instructors at ccsf from a dual enrollment student. And it was very heart warming, so i want to share it with you. Ill read it, because i dont know if everyone can see it. I was one of your dual enrolled students at bmea. I am now at the second year at cal state northridge. Yesterday, after a long and hard application process, i officially got into the highly competitive film school here. Over 200 people applied, and they selected 48 students. I am honestly over the moon. With the classes i took with you, i even get to graduate a year early. So that this is why we do what we do, and now that were growing the program and we will have more graduates, we hope to have more successes like this. And then, finally, i want to share, we are working on some media and, you know, outreach materials. So i wanted to share with you a video that we put together. We filmed it last spring in the dual enrollment classes, and still not quite out you know, were still kind of finalizing it, but its very heart warming, and wed like to show it to you. Are you going to play it or do i play it . Yes. Okay. [video] it has to load, i think. Its only a minute long, but i dont know. So the video oh, it is showing. Let me see can you help me . Yeah, i think you better. The video is kind of a promotional video for dual enrollment, and it shows it was filmed in several its started it was filmed in several different dual enrollment classes last fall or spring. One is was at the high school, and then, we had a couple classes that were at city college, so i dont know. Were having some technical difficulties, unfortunately. Well, we may not be able to show it to you. In the meantime, if it anyone has any questions, i am if anyone has any questions, im happy to answer them. Supervisor haney maybe commissioner collins, you want to ask your questions . Yes, commission. Commissioner collins. Ill go. Okay. Again, im really supportive of these programs, really love them. I think thats the issue, even somebody whos interested in these types of things, its hard to know about it. I even have high School Students, as a parent and what we need to be doing better as a system is just pushing information out . I think the information is there if we go looking for it . But if you dont know the information is there, you dont know where to look. So im just interested how can we systematize it how can we look oh, there with you go. Yeah. You want to watch it, and then, i can come back . Sure. [video] so this makes me really excited, and im wondering, i want those kinds of things to be pushed out. I have to say, i love these. These look great. We dont usually get fliers a lot of times, we type in New York Times font because were educators. Im wondering, if i had Something Like this, and on the back, it says these are the high schools that have programming onsite, thats one thing as a parent, these are the high schools were touring, these are the high schools im checking out. And kids would be getting excited, and telling their moms and dads, these are the things that i want to check out. So im wondering, do you have a onepager that we can check out . I think thats a good idea. Please, i just love these. And then, the other one is a step by step i dont know if you have any i love the visuals and the icons with a graphic. I love the step or three steps or something and obviously, theres more steps, but to really help folks. City your counselor see your counselor well, the first step would be to talk to your teacher, and then figure out a way to make sure that every single student gets one. Thats great about these, as well, is theyre translated. We can figure out with the transition team, how does it get in the district newsletter . How does it get pushed out and on the district webpage . So thats a question that im going to be asking sfusd. Its an awesome video. It should be on our website. Thats free advertising. And then, i guess the other piece is free media is social media so im wondering how we can leverage students that are in the program . My daughter would be mad for saying i discovered she was on her instagram for, like, three to five hours a day . So High Schoolers are on social media and so are College Students . Is there a way to leverage hashtags and then maybe create campaigns that they can participate in so they can talk about their experiences . Because the best way to market the programs are kids that are in the programs . And especially High Schoolers to middle schoolers. And so do you have a feed for this program . Like, i know sfusd, a lot of departments are now like, visual performing arts has this own feed. School food and nutrition has their own feed. Im wondering, do you guys have your own feed on the dual Enrollment Program that you could then be tagging trustees and staff and commissioners . And then, like i said, if you can involve students in campaigns where they can take pictures of the cool things that theyre doing, and that can create buzz using networks social networks that they already have and push out these really great resources that are already in our city, they just need to know about them. Yes. Thank you. Supervisor ronen yes. Thank you. Commissioner randolph . Yes. The mission is really exciting. I would like to piggyback on a couple of things the commissioner said. I would like to see if we can get that video on and rotate throughout the day for the few people that are so excited to watch sfgovtv. But the other thing is i know that several local t. V. Stations also provide public i dont know what its called, but public advertising, that they can rotate throughout the day. I know, for example, all the a. M. C. Theaters have time before every movie where they show what they call a. M. C. Cares, kind of nonprofit focused advertising. So i think every time you go to a movie, and you see the oneminute spot on city college enrollment, that would be great. So maybe think creatively about our partnerships. I know for the free city campaign, we did have advertisings on facebook, twitter, and instagram for the people we wanted to target, especially High School Graduates and young people to be able to participate in free city. I know we were finalizing or kind of had finalized a partnership with facebook, and it would be great to work with them to get free ad contracts on instagram and facebook and create free fliers for them. I know its something theyre doing for other city colleges, so it would be great to get that done. And the other piece goes back to other counselors and creating change. I know i talked to kevin truitt about this a couple of years ago, and supervisor walton and i visited balboa and a couple of other high schools several years ago, city is not a place for people to go. Once you go to city, you get stuck there, you can transfer, you cant succeed. I was participating in a class on wednesday, james chases class at John Oconnell. And one of the students actually asked what it means to go to city because she heard once you go to city, you get stuck and you dont leave. And she was told that by a counselor. And we can have the best videos, we can have the best fliers, but if theres this misinformation maybe and i dont know how to classify it, maybe, but counselors, that city is not the place for people to go, then that is a problem we need to figure out how to address. Maybe it was part of the accreditation process. Maybe it was especially students of color getting stuck in remedial math and english, which we have addressed by ab 705, which immediately places all students in collegelevel math and english courses. I know were doing a breakfast again and bringing counselors back on campus, so i think that is a great way to do that. Consistently i hear over and over again, the consensus among some counselors is city college is damaging. I dont know how to figure that out, commissioner, but i think theres something that we need to we need to do. I do want to say there was a great event a couple weeks ago, discover ccsf, and our Outreach Department with bridge to success invited every single 12th grader and their parents in sfusd. And it was standing room only. I think there was 180 people attended, and there was really good excitement for ccsf as a post secondary opportunity. Supervisor ronen great. Commissioner williams . Thank you, supervisor. I think its key in looking at the cost of Education Today and what a bargain ccsf is. I love the video, i love the fliers, and i love the idea about social media. Instagram is everywhere, so to pump this out on social media, i think will cause more folks to be exposed to this opportunity. Id also love to see more of the qualitative data to help us kind of finetune or our offerings and our programs. I think also looking at how do we tailor these opportunities to the high schools where our nontraditional students are. Those students that said in the video that often feel that they dont have those choices or are independent and want to open up choices in those districts. I dont know what the list of high schools, all the complete list of high schools were that this is available at now, but i think
