In this episode of the TeacherCast Podcast, Jeff sits down with Sharifa Extavour and Ingrid Renderos to discuss how K12 teachers can help get our college and career ready seniors prepared for their post-graduation activities.
In this episode, you will learn:
As a College and Career Support manager, Sharifa works with College Persistence Team to improve college persistence outcomes for advisees. She coaches a caseload of KIPP Alumni to meet their academic, financial and career goals through intrusive advising practices. In addition, Sharifa manages the Strong Transition Plan as students prepare to leave the KIPPNJ region’s high school- Newark Collegiate Academy. As a leader in her region, she also works with key stakeholders at the high-school to ensure a smooth transition to college/career programs and in doing so, working to support the goal of decreasing ‘summer melt’.
Prior to KIPP, Sharifa served in various Enrollment Management roles within Higher education including Operations, managing recruitment efforts, admissions counselors, and working with key stakeholders to support University-wide recruitment efforts and events. Sharifa also managed recruitment efforts for Educational Opportunity Fund Program (EOF) which provided access to college to students from ‘academically and financially disadvantaged’ communities throughout New Jersey. She earned her BA in Sociology, Masters in Public Administration (MPA) and M.A in Student Services.
Sharifa enjoys trying different kinds of food, traveling, a good book on Audible, spending time with her family including her dog, Charley.
