Goal 1: Students
Hope, Well-Being and Engagement are the noncognitive pieces we need to address.
Hope, Well-Being and Engagement are also
equally accurate predictors of success as
academic assessments.
Dr. Renee Foose, HCPSS Superintendent
Hope: the ideas and energy we have for the
future.
Hope drives attendance, credits earned, and GPA
of high school students.
Hope predicts GPA and retention
in college, and hope scores are more robust predictors
of college success than are high school GPA, SAT, and
ACT scores.
Engagement: the involvement
in, and enthusiasm for school.
Engagement
distinguishes between highperforming and low-performing
schools.
Well-Being: how we think about and
experience our lives.
Well-being tells us how our students
are doing today and predicts their success in
the future.
High school freshmen with high well-being
earn more credits with a higher GPA than
peers with low well-being..

Hope, Engagement, Well Being
= Academic Success
Growth Mindset & Effective Praise
