This institute will delve into how to implement the award-winning Get Focused...Stay Focused!® (GFSF) program over all four years of high school for EVERY student. When every student has an online 10-year plan that is updated yearly and used across the campus for academic coaching and counseling by all personnel, you will launch your students into post-secondary success.

Using the 10-Step Plan process developed by The George Washington University’s Freshman Transition Initiative and adapted for the Get Focused…Stay Focused!® program, participants in this two-day institute will learn a step-by-step process that will help their schools plan and implement a GFSF program on their campus. In addition, they’ll learn how college credit is being awarded for the 9th grade, semester-long “Get Focused” course.

Using an adaptation of the 10-Step Plan from the George Washington University’s Freshman Transition Initiative (which inspired the GFSF model), this step-by-step process was developed to help you create, implement, and sustain your Get Focused...Stay Focused!® program. It was designed to provide best practice strategies and resources so your implementation of the Get Focused...Stay Focused!® (GFSF) program or Freshman Transition Initiative can be quick and cost-efficient. This roadmap will help you develop a program that will increase graduation rates (both high school and college), ensure ALL students are college- and career-ready, and provide students with the skills and attitudes to enter the workforce and build a self-sufficient life.
