The Minneapolis Public Schools launched Camp 2012 this week -- an innovative effort to promote college access by easing the transition from eighth grade to high school. As part of Camp 2012, 650 rising freshmen will meet counselors, principals, and other school staff; set goals for the school year and beyond; and bond with classmates. Naviance is excited to play a key role in Camp 2012 and the district's other efforts to foster a college-going culture. Reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, students will use WorkspaceK12 from Naviance to "learn more about their learning styles, develop and tracking a course plan, and compare colleges." See "Minneapolis Tries Freshman Initiation" for the full story.
