SUMMARY:Focused Intelligence with Behavior-Based Outreach: Connecting Audiences with Education\, Apprenticeships\, & Careers
DESCRIPTION:The March 2021 NSCRS High School Benchmarks report covering approximately 860\,000 graduates from nearly 3\,500 high schools indicates that immediate fall postsecondary enrollment rates dropped 4.5X the pre-pandemic rate of decline (-6.8% vs. -1.5%). Even more concerning was the disparity between students of high poverty/low-Income schools. Immediate postsecondary enrollment for students in high poverty schools dropped over 7X that of pre-pandemic declines (-11.4% vs. -1.6%)\, while low income schools saw an outstanding drop of 13X that of pre-pandemic declines (-10.7% vs. -0.8%). \nTo help our partners address these dramatic declines and disparities\, MOCAN has partnered with WHYSDOM (www.whysdom.com)\, a need-based behavior and data science company with a comprehensive history in outreach marketing for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 brands to non-profits to local and state communities. Their tools and technologies help identify\, locate and connect with audiences and understand the “whys” of audience behavior in real-time. \nWHYSDOM has developed a detailed Focused Intelligence resource specifically for MOCAN’s Education and Career professionals. They designed this unique resource to drive highly engaging and relevant communication and activation strategies for Behavior-Based Outreach campaigns and programs. Using WHYSDOM’s location technologies the team first identifies audience location and behaviors utilizing focus areas of emphasis that included Missouri urban and rural audiences of low income\, high poverty\, and low educational attainment levels. \nFor each audience segment\, WHYSDOM then developed Definitive Plus Persona Sets. These persona sets include; need-based behavior\, drivers\, segment sizes\, audience overview\, engagement strategies\, key issues\, keywords\, cultural and content interests\, content affinities\, outreach approaches\, and activation strategies. The top three personas for each focus area include enhanced demographics details such as age\, income\, education\, race/ethnicity\, median household income\, audience affinity traits indexing\, and location traits Indexing. \nPersonas help outreach professionals create pictures of their audience members. In addition to an outward image\, a WHYSDOM’s persona set includes their motivations and behavior and gives you an inward view of your audience. This helps you understand their mindsets and values that drive decisions\, see what audiences do through observed behavior\, not just what they say they do\, explore what’s important to them\, and know why it matters. All of this allows you to adjust and adapt your outreach and communications to constantly changing audience behavior. \nWe complete this picture with recommendations around the type of content your various audience segments absorb\, the kind of outreach campaigns that attract them\, and how to get their attention. WHYSDOM’s activation strategies help you; apply your new knowledge to content development\, deliver relevant contextual messaging at every touchpoint. They guide you in evaluating media buys and even uncover opportunities for new product or service innovations. Content and persona relevant messaging can then be delivered back to any of the given urban or rural audience segments providing optimal return on outreach campaign investments. \n

SUMMARY:NCAN Webinar: Scaling Success Services: Strategies for Promoting Postsecondary Success
DESCRIPTION:The year-long pandemic has exacerbated the growing gap in postsecondary enrollment and completion for students of color\, first generation to college students and students from low-income backgrounds. Prior to the pandemic\, NCAN was working with 12 NCAN member organizations to address these gaps with the generous support of a Michael & Susan Dell Foundation grant. Over a three-year period\, these member organizations set out to expand their student success services in their respective communities\, and what we learned was a pretty clear formula for scaling success services. We recently documented the experiences of five organizations expanding their college access programs to support students through college completion and invite you to learn more about the useful strategies and approaches they leaned on to promote postsecondary success for their students during this hour-long webinar panel discussion.

SUMMARY:MOCAN in Partnership with NCAN: FCAN Webinar: FAFSA Verification Update - Reducing "Melt" with a More Targeted Approach
DESCRIPTION:Too many low-income students experience “verification melt”\, according to the National College Attainment Network (NCAN).  Roughly half of Pell-eligible FAFSA applicants are flagged for verification\, with 25% of them failing to complete the process.  For many of these students\, it will stymy their college plans all together. \nNCAN conducted a comprehensive review looking at the impact of FAFSA verification on Pell Grant awards.  Given the burdensome process for students and financial aid departments\, is verification achieving its intended purpose of ensuring the integrity of expended funds while delivering aid to Pell-eligible students? NCAN will share important findings that can guide more effective approaches.  They will also share updates to the FSA verification targets as well as approaches to use when working with students who have been selected for FAFSA verification. \nIn this session you will learn: \n\nHow the vast majority of students selected for verification see no change to their Pell award.\nHow differentiating between auto-zero and non-auto-zero EFC applicants can improve approaches while reducing the burden of the verification process.\nRecent changes to the FSA verification target.\nBest practices to use when working with students selected for FAFSA verification.

SUMMARY:NCAN Webinar: Moving the College Access Needle for the New Majority
DESCRIPTION:While high school graduation rates have improved across the nation\, large gaps in postsecondary enrollment and degree completion persist\, especially for students of color and students from low-income backgrounds. These inequitable results demand new K-12 district- and school-level approaches for supporting students’ postsecondary transitions. \nNCAN’s new report focuses on four school districts across the country that have moved the needle on their students’ postsecondary outcomes: Miami-Dade\, FL\, Lancaster\, PA\, Brownsville\, TX\, and Philadelphia\, PA. These districts shared the principles and practices that are replicable\, practical\, and actionable for communities across the country\, no matter their shape\, size\, or current approach to providing postsecondary advising. \nJoin NCAN on Feb. 25 for an engaging webinar to examine this report’s findings\, hear from some of the practitioners it features\, and find new practices to implement in your own district\, school\, and community. Panelists will also discuss how they have adapted their work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nThis webinar is open to both NCAN members and the general public.
