offer opportunities to help students navigate transitions to high school and beyond, form strong relationships, and gain confidence and skills to achieve their goals.
On-track coaching opportunities
engage all students in one-on-one conferences. On-Track Coordinators support freshmen through personalized and data-driven coaching.
On-track data teams
support educators with information, tools, and resources to leverage their expertise for the benefit of all students. Collaborative team structures help schools meet the holistic needs of every student.
As partners in the RISE Network, we look for ways to better meet the needs of the students and families we serve.
RISE high schools pursue five shared strategies to promote student engagement, on-track achievement, and college and career readiness. The RISE by 5 network-wide strategies connect students with personalized support to enable success both during and after high school.
College and career supports
build a culture of college success through meaningful opportunities in Grades 9-12 for students to pursue their college and career goals.
Educatorinspired innovations
receive support from the RISE Educator Advisory Council and Innovation Fund, empowering educators to pinpoint needs, pilot ideas, and promote promising practices through collaboration.
Network Strategies
When Westhill High School joined the RISE Network, Principal Michael Rinaldi was excited to learn from existing partners about how best to adapt the RISE by 5 strategies to his school.
Principal Rinaldi was focused on making sure that the network-wide student outcome goals were fully woven into the fabric of Westhill’s culture and mission as a school. He adopted the acronym PROUD, defining the “O” as on-track. Today, purple and gold Westhill and PROUD posters line the school’s hallways, engaging the entire school community in a process of understanding what “on-track” means to them and to Westhill student success.
