This will make your job easier: A tool to create an individualized report

Career Choices has been a highly effective intervention program for dropout prevention and a key ingredient in Freshman Transition programs.  To help you document and communicate your own experiences as a user of Career Choices, we have developed this online tool. 

Our hope is to support busy teachers and administrators as they collect and share key data relating to the Career Choices program and its impact on student learning and behavior.  Specifically, the website will provide:

  • Guidelines for collecting pertinent data related to dropout prevention and student achievement
  • References for rigorous evaluation methodology
  • Free web space to store the data and final reports
  • An online tool that facilitates the creation of a complete summary report highlighting the impact of the Career Choices program on
    student learning and behavior
Evaluation Methodologies
Method A – All students in a specific grade participate in the Career Choices program. The data from this group will be compared with data from students within the same grade and school in the 2-3 years prior to the implementation of Career Choices.

Method B – Only a portion of students in a specific grade participate in the Career Choices program. The data from this group is then compared with data of non-Career Choices class(es) within the same grade and school.

Before you begin, you'll need to determine which of the following evaluation methodologies is appropriate given the nature of your school’s implementation of Career Choices.

Click on one of the two methods to the right to download the guidelines for data gathering. Once you have obtained the data, access this online tool to enter your information and generate a year-end report that can assist you in decision making and planning.

If you run into issues in gathering the data, please email Lauren Taylor at LCTaylor86@gmail.com.
