Registering for Naviance

1. Registering for Naviance

2. Background • Brown, Copeland, Costello, Erkanli and Worthman (2009) found that “…prioritizing educational goals and maintaining achievement motivation are critical components of education attainment (and may be especially important where ecological scaffolding is relatively weak)” (p. 797). • Milford just obtained the program; no one knows how to use it. • Change in how to apply to college- all online. • No chance to get into classrooms; previous failure with November roll-out

3. Goals • To register at least 60% of the Junior class for Naviance by April. • To educate students on the many functions of Naviance to prepare them for summer research.

4. Program Layout • 3 sessions on different topics; these would be repeated upon request • “Registering and Research on Naviance” • “Registering for Naviance/College Applications” • “Registering for Naviance/Financial Aid”
