Language Matters: Recruiting for Diversity
Research from CCSA shows that language like "application" and "lottery" are barrier words insinuating competition or pre-requisites. These words may deter ELL families and SED families from enrolling in our charter schools. Explore how Summit Public Schools changed its approach to student recruitment and enrollment to remove these perceived barriers and encourage all families to apply. We will also develop step-by-step strategies that participants can employ to identify and overcome barriers to meet recruitment goals.
“Our staff has decreased the amount of time processing applications by close to 40 hours. The ability to run applications, lottery, registration, and re-enrollment all within one system has significantly impacted the efficiency of our enrollment process.”
