  30. What Went Well? • Mentor support has been very instrumental in student success. • Collaboration with MMCC has been wonderful! • Partnership with MidMichigan Health has been an invaluable resource. • Student participation, community partnerships, & parental support. • Job shadowing is an important component and has been extremely well received by students.

  31. What Do We Need to Improve? • Difficult to coordinate schedules with five individual school districts • Michigan Merit curriculum requirements have been tricky to weave into design • State school funding is not stable – need to focus on long-term funding outside of the state • Sharing the perception of the middle college, especially since CGMC is not a traditional design • Stability of CGMC Leadership

  32. Three Significant Lessons • Try to develop stability in leadership at the beginning – changes in leadership can cause different visions and/or new starts/stops in the process • Be flexible to the needs of your own community – they may not fit the “traditional middle college model” • Involve local school counselors early in the planning stages

  33. Advice to New Grantees • Recognize that despite the cultural changes in your community, the various roadblocks, and lack of funding – this makes a SIGNIFICANT impact on students who may not have gone to college and the program IS WORTH IT!

  34. Next Steps • Looking at expanding beyond healthcare • New funding sources • Curriculum alignment to MME • Possible early college • Stronger partnership with college
