The Rush-Henrietta Board of Education approved four district goals at its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday, January 23. The goals are the result of a community-wide survey; six focus groups; student data including demographics, behavior, proficiency and graduation; and two in-person workshops to review all of this information. The four goals are: ·  Excellence for Every Student: R-H will sustain and further develop its culture of academic distinction by championing the potential within every student.  ·  Preparing Students for the Pathways to Tomorrow: R-H will be a driving force for workforce development and a cornerstone for community growth.  ·  Foundation to Flourish for All Students: R-H will cultivate a vibrant educational landscape where every student's engagement is ignited and positive behavior is naturally fostered.  ·   Cohesive and Inclusive Community and Culture: R-H is dedicated to fostering a cohesive and welcoming community, where open communication serves as the foundation for unity.  Thank you to everyone who shared feedback during the past few months to help us create these four important goals. The future is bright!

Michelle King-Okoye, Aigli Raouna, and Dr E Joanna Alexjuk from the School of Health in Social Science shed light on the various The University of Edinburgh events and research initiatives aimed to support and enrich the experience of students with caring responsibilities. Among other initiatives, such as including expectant parents in parent support events, they have worked with students to create two awareness videos and to set up peer support groups: 1. The ‘Buddy Scheme’, which pairs students from similar programmes of study to be their brothers/sisters’ keeper has potential to strengthen peer relationships and provide support. 2. The ‘Student Ambassador Scheme’ identifies someone (with lived experience) who will act as an advocate for students with caring responsibilities according to cohort and is a promising pathway for this subgroup of students.

🔬 Achieving Our Goals with Evidence-Based Strategies! 🔬 At NJ MED, here's how we achieved our goals through evidence-based strategies using the 100% Graduation Rate Program. 1.    Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment (CBT) Intervention: o   Our 4-year program incorporates CBT to help students develop resilience against academic failure and manage early signs of problem behavior. This method is proven to improve emotional regulation, decision-making, and coping skills. 2.    Data-Driven Monitoring and Support: o   We continuously track students' academic performance, behavioral changes, and social development. This allows us to tailor our interventions to each student's needs, ensuring they receive the support required to succeed. 3.    Collaboration with Stakeholders: o   By partnering with businesses, academic institutions, and service organizations, we create a robust support network. This collaboration provides students with mentorship, resources, and opportunities that are crucial for their academic and personal growth. 4.    Comprehensive Skill Development: o   Our program focuses on holistic development, including academic tutoring, life skills training, and career guidance. These components are designed to prepare students for both college and the workforce. 5.    Evidence-Based Outcomes: o   The success of our program is evident in our results: an 88% high school graduation rate, 67% college enrollment rate, 33% college graduation rate, only 9% involvement in the juvenile justice system, and just 2% becoming teen parents. These metrics are a testament to the effectiveness of our scientifically grounded approach. 6.    Community Engagement: o   We actively involve families and communities in our program. Parental and community support has been shown to significantly enhance student outcomes, creating a nurturing environment that fosters growth and success. Our scientifically-backed methods ensure that we are making a real, lasting impact on the lives of these young men. By leveraging proven strategies, we can help them overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. We invite you to share your thoughts and ideas on how we can further improve and expand our program. Let's continue to make a difference together! #EveryoneBehindtheFlag #SDG4 #USA
