CWA's Three Pronged Approach to Learning: Developing an Advisory System that Promotes Student and Family Agency in School.

Monday, February 24, 2025
1:45 PM – 3:00 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: L506/507
Session Type: Workshops
Abstract Description : Clackamas Web Academy serves a wide range of K-12 students and provides a variety of academic courses, programs, and supports both online and at our school campus. CWA has developed an advisory model to help students and families navigate this complex blended learning environment and to access additional resources offered by its community college, non-profit, state, and sponsoring district partners. Learn how CWA defines its brand of advisory, which is increasing student engagement in school, promoting family involvement in student learning, and driving strong academic outcomes, as evidenced by improvements in Oregon’s four-year cohort graduation rates—from 20% to 87.8%—and state testing results.

Learning Objectives:

  • a) Participants will understand how Clackamas Web Academy (CWA) defines its brand of advisory, which focuses on increasing student engagement in school and promoting family involvement in student learning.
  • b) Participants will explore strategies to engage parents as academic allies and empower students to take ownership of their learning.
  • c) Participants will discover how fostering increased student engagement and enhancing family involvement lead to stronger academic performance, including improved four-year cohort graduation rates, better state testing outcomes, and greater college credits earned.
