Supporting Ohio's Graduation Requirements

At The Student Stakeholder, LLC, we are committed to empowering students through our Exposure Leads to Expansion Experiences. Our programs align with the Ohio Department of Education's guidelines for locally defined seals, providing students with hands-on opportunities that enhance their educational journey.

How Our Services Support Students:

  • Earn Locally Defined Seals: Students participating in our experiences can receive Community Service Hours, which can be applied toward the Community Service Seal and Student Engagement Seal.

  • Tailored Experiences: We collaborate with families and school staff to customize experiences that meet the specific needs of individual students or groups, ensuring that each student benefits maximally from our programs.

Benefits of Our Programs:

  • Real-World Exploration: Our experiences empower students to apply academic and technical knowledge to real-world situations, fostering personal and professional growth.

  • Civic Engagement: Through community service projects, students develop a sense of responsibility and leadership, actively contributing to their communities.

  • Skills Development: We focus on social-emotional learning and mentorship, equipping students with essential skills for success in their future endeavors.

  • Career Exploration: Our programs facilitate connections with industry professionals, helping students gain insights into potential career paths and post-high school opportunities.

Ohio's Locally Defined Diploma Seals

According to Ohio’s long-term graduation requirements, students must demonstrate readiness by earning at least two seals, one of which must be a state-defined seal. Our programs support the following locally defined seals:

  • Community Service Seal: Students can fulfill this requirement through community service projects conducted during our Exposure Leads to Expansion Experiences.

  • Student Engagement Seal: Participation in our activities can count towards this seal, as we offer various extracurricular opportunities.

By participating in our Exposure Leads to Expansion Experiences, students not only work toward meeting graduation requirements but also gain invaluable experiences that prepare them for their future.

Supporting PBIS and SEL: Empowering Students and Schools

At The Student Stakeholder, LLC, we are dedicated to supporting all stakeholders involved in student development. Our mission is to improve attendance, equitable outcomes, academic achievement, and access to college and career pathways. We provide schools and youth organizations with tailored Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) strategies that align with Ohio State recommendations and action plans.

How We Benefit Students and Schools:

  • Comprehensive PBIS Frameworks: We help schools implement PBIS frameworks to create positive school environments where all students can thrive academically and socially.

  • Whole Child Focus: Our services emphasize the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), college exploration, career exploration, and civic engagement, ensuring that we support the holistic development of each student.

  • Tailored Exposure Opportunities: We offer exposure experiences that connect learning to real-world applications, helping students to navigate their educational and career pathways effectively.

  • Restorative Practices: We advocate for embedding restorative practices within PBIS frameworks to foster understanding and inclusion, moving away from exclusionary discipline methods. This approach promotes positive teacher-student relationships and a sense of belonging.

Addressing Barriers to Success:

We recognize that to create supportive, safe, and welcoming environments for all students, we must address the barriers they face. Our approach includes:

  • Equitable Solutions: We emphasize the importance of equitable discipline practices that do not rely on exclusionary methods, especially for economically disadvantaged and marginalized students.

  • Community Partnerships: We believe in establishing strategic and sustainable partnerships with community organizations to enhance attendance and engagement. Collaborating with local businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders helps create a network of support for students.

  • Data-Informed Practices: We use data to identify factors affecting student attendance and engagement, allowing schools to implement evidence-based strategies that improve outcomes.

Commitment to Student Success:

With our focus on PBIS and SEL, we aim to transform student experiences by providing:

  • Chronic Absenteeism Solutions: We support schools in addressing chronic absenteeism by shifting mindsets and practices around attendance, helping to create a culture that values each student's presence.

  • Career and College Connections: We help students connect their learning to future opportunities, whether in college, careers, or military service, ensuring they understand the relevance of their education.

  • Professional Development: We offer resources and training to educators on implementing effective PBIS strategies, fostering a supportive school culture.

By partnering with The Student Stakeholder, LLC, schools can enhance their PBIS frameworks, support the whole child, and create an inclusive environment that promotes academic and personal success for all students.
