How do kids get information?

# N S I 2 0 1 6

YouTube of course!

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Research shows that in the adolescent years they value peers opinions

And Naviance meets them right where they are with the new Naviance

Curriculum

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Short videos featuring college freshmen who speak from experience

# N S I 2 0 1 6

So you have a YouTube generation and stone tablet school counselors..

What do you do?

# N S I 2 0 1 6

As you plan your PD you will have counselors who are power users.

You make these rock stars your mentors.

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Plan the roll out PD and provide step by step written directions.

Have the mentors circulate the room to answer questions.

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Much like the teenagers, when someone is uncomfortable with a new

program they don't want their supervisor to know but will phone a

friend.

# N S I 2 0 1 6

After the PD let them know they can call the mentors or you anytime with

any questions.

They will not call you...

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Set up staff PD where you introduce the Naviance curriculum to the teachers so they can find lessons that fit their subject.

Math teachers LOVE the finance lessons!

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Offer tune ups quarterly run by you and the rock stars.

Send quarterly reports showing student task completion so everyone knows how the students are progressing through the curriculum.

# N S I 2 0 1 6

Before you know it, you will have confident counselors and CCR

students!

Thank you!

Naviance Implementation With the Class of 2016

# N S I 2 0 1 6

As the pilot schools for our District we fully implemented the College and Career portions of Family Connection through Naviance with our 2016 Senior Class. We went “all in” as

Naviance was new to all involved – counselors, teachers and students. We were able to have over 90% of all seniors to complete required tasks and college applications

and request supporting documentation through Naviance.

Naviance for Newbies….

It is really hard to stay within the parameters

of how others organize!

# N S I 2 0 1 6

The information I am going to provide is based on the first year of implementation at our school. The tips should be considered but are not necessarily a format that you have to follow. That said don’t just decide you’re going to do it your own way without taking my

advice. FYI: I have mad Naviance skills and have been nicknamed the Naviance Rockstar at Aberdeen High School. If you choose not to pay attention I am not responsible for any angry teachers, crying students, confused staff or the line of people waiting to ask you

questions that may or may not be easy to answer at that exact moment!

PUT IN A LOT OF THOUGHT BEFORE IT’S TAUGHT!

Drag or drop your photograph here

Is this what the staff are like during trainings?

This is what I saw at the training for Naviance at the beginning of the year!

# N S I 2 0 1 6

And after the training!!!WARNING! Do not train staff in one large group! When this happened, I knew what was coming at grading time!

What did she say?

What’s the name of the program?

Make sure you have 2-3 people at each training. Depending on how you implement your program, there will need to be more that one person who is able to problem solve and answer questions.

Once you decide who will be involved in the program, assign them a role.

Each role will have certain rights depending on what their responsibilities are going to be.

2-3 Know It Alls

Who is participating?

Why is each role important?

TIP #1: BEFORE TRAINING – WHO IS PART OF

THE TEAM?• The Know-It-All

• Teachers• Registrar• Students

• Administration• Counselors• Other staff

# N S I 2 0 1 6

TIP #2: AFTER ASSIGNING ROLES – • Start training in small groups• Make sure you only train for

one role at a time• Remember the teacher from

my training???

• You want everyone to leave the meeting as excited about implementing this as you are.

• You want as few confused teachers as possible because that means fewer questions for you!

What did she say?

# N S I 2 0 1 6

TIP #3: AS LITTLE INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE

• There is a ton of really cool stuff to do in Naviance, I mean a ton

• Only show each group what they need to know in order to complete their part

• Once they are confident in their skills they can ask for more training or look through things on their own

Information Overload

If you want students to be able to view information when they transfer from one school to another, the tasks will need to be made at district level.

There is so much that Naviance offers. Decide what you want to implement the first year and what can wait for the second year.

Make sure that you set aside support time for the staff.

1 In our school we use the same password and username for Family Connection as we do for Skyward. This way we have access to them if the students forget.

Talk to your technology people and try to get ALL information uploaded before beginning. (course history, student information, test scores, parent information, etc.)

Nothing ever goes as smoothly as we want it to the first time we try. The program is amazing and if you stay positive then soon the staff will see how great it is too.
