Designated programs should incorporate sufficient wraparound services to promote academic success and completion, taking into consideration the needs of diverse populations of students.
ECHS programs are encouraged to develop whole student supports. For academic support, the curriculum should include a system of student support including, but not limited to:
- Teacher contact
- Tutoring
- Study groups
- Review sessions
- Homework guidance
- Summer sessions
- Learning labs
- Skill development classes
- Staged course sequencing
- Peer-based student support groups
For career and academic counseling, student supports should include:
- College planning sessions
- College application and funding workshops
- Connections to business mentors including workplace experiences
- Academic development tracking and review
- Increased exposure to post-secondary institutions and processes
In all of these support systems, parent/guardian participation should be encouraged, due to its strong impact on student success.
