Senior Director Of College Persistence
CurrentOneGoal is the nation's only teacher-led college persistence organization. We strive to empower low-income high school students to reach their full potential and graduate from college. OneGoal accomplishes this by providing teachers with training and support to teach the OneGoal course to low-income high school students and stay with those students through their first year of college. The OneGoal course – as featured in Paul Tough’s bestselling book How Children Succeed – is grounded in a 1400-page curriculum that focuses on developing non-cognitive skills, improving academic performance in core high school classes and standardized tests, enrolling in a match college, and succeeding during the critical first year of college. To date, 87 percent of OneGoal's high school graduates have enrolled in college (more than double the local average) and of the OneGoal students who enroll, 85 percent are persisting in college or have graduated with a college degree.
