November 2023 Report

Below is the Oregon City School District reporting on the Strategic Plan efforts as of November 3rd, 2023.

Career and College Readiness

Goal 1: By 2027, all students will have a 6-year plan (7-12th grade) that will support post graduation planning.

  • District Career and College Team created

  • The District Career and College Team (11 teammates including counseling, career and college staff, administrators, coaches, student services, and alternative education staff) worked to identify existing and needed data.

  • Naviance Training on 10.11.23 included all secondary counselors, YTP coordinators, instructional coaches and the District Career & College Team

  • The District Career and College Team meets every two weeks to coordinate and develop action plans for every goal within this priority area.  

  • Middle school coaches and counselors have coordinated to begin portfolios.  

  • The Career and College Coordinators have prepared and delivered the first module in Naviance for high school students in mentor teams.

  • The Career and College Administrator has met with building administrators and local business leaders to lay the groundwork for additional opportunities such as  job shadows, work-related experiences, and internships.  Experiences so far include: Eaton Electric tour, CCC Manufacturing Day, and the Oregon Career Fair (over 200 students participating in these experiences so far).

Goal 2: By 2027, all classroom teachers will tie their units or instructional content to career and college readiness at least quarterly.

  • The DCC Team has determined that we will utilize the 16 pathways identified by the national model.  

  • The team has started to backwards plan both processes within this goal and has identified some first steps to building awareness and understanding of CRLs.

  • A CRL tracking sheet has been created by our Career and College Administrator to show developed collaboration between businesses and students.  

  • Youth Transition Program staff are collaborating with the team to ensure inclusion.  

  • Data from the 2022 & 2023 Senior Surveys has been studied and will be useful moving forward.

Goal 3: By 2027, all students will have a post-secondary plan for at least two years out of high school and be prepared to execute it.

  • Youth Transition Program is collaborating with the College and Career Coordinators and Administrators. 

  • Monthly meetings working on the IEP transition goal for each student. 

  • Training on transition assessments for student use. 

  • Updated our resource page on internal website for access for Case Managers

  • Monthly audit on secondary IEPs specifically focusing on transition goals

  • Career Pathways Administrator has been connecting with local businesses to develop opportunities for students to engage in job shadows, job talks, and other initial experiences in career related learning.  

  • She is meeting with middle and high school teachers to better understand their content areas and career connections.
