The essence of CFES is the engagement of each Scholar in three high-impact practices - Pathways to College, Mentoring, and Leadership through Service. Research confirms that student engagement in CFES Core Practices is correlated with higher aspirations and improved academic performance. The most successful programs incorporate all three core practices in order to help Scholars gain college access and success. The three Core Practices are: Pathways to CollegePathways to College is a practice in which CFES K-12 schools partner with colleges to provide opportunities for their CFES Scholars to visit college campuses, interact with college students and faculty, and gain exposure to admissions, financial aid, and other higher education components. MentoringMentoring fosters academic and personal growth among CFES Scholars by providing them a supportive relationship with an older, more experienced individual who can serve as a role model. All CFES schools have mentoring programs for their CFES Scholars that utilize peers (including other Scholars), adults, teachers, and/or college students as mentors. Leadership through ServiceLeadership through Service activities are designed to help CFES Scholars identify and express their leadership potential to improve their school, neighborhood, and/or the global community. CFES schools create meaningful opportunities for CFES Scholars to provide student leadership in service activities. Gaining leadership skills and taking responsibility for others contribute to Scholars' self-confidence, stimulating greater personal aspirations for college and building resilience that leads to college success. |
