As superintendent for Utica Community Schools in Michigan over the past decade, Dr. Christine Johns has set in place educational changes aimed to enable a success-focused college culture to flourish. In her role as superintendent, Dr. Christine Johns has facilitated the use of resources such as Naviance, which encourages secondary school students to engage with the Advanced Placement curriculum and embrace a rigorous learning environment. Introduced to the Utica Community Schools in early 2015, the universal resource tool Naviance brings together diverse aspects of the post-secondary planning process. The system provides guidance on admission requirements and applications, and it alerts students to financial aid and scholarship opportunities. It incorporates a goal assessment component, which helps define students’ current scholastic goals and generates course recommendations. Naviance provides another distinct benefit in integrating with the online Family Connection platform. This tool aims to increase parents’ involvement in their children’s education. Its collaborative tools are designed to bring family members together in a range of career and secondary education readiness activities, from resume building to college entrance exam preparation.
