The True Impact of a Get Focused…Stay Focused!® Program – New Data
In new data from 18 evaluation schools, students who took a freshman course with the Career Choices series curriculum performed better than other students. Here are a few more highlights from the 2022 study by Dr. Russ Rumberger, Professor Emeritus of University of California, Santa Barbara:
- GFSF schools exhibit higher outcome graduation rates than their matched schools.
- All comparisons produced positive program effects in suspension rates.
- Students who update their 10-year plans annually earned more total credits and UC/CSU eligible transfer credits, were more likely to complete their English and math transfer credits in the first year of enrollment, and were more likely to persist into the second year of study.

The Career Choices series curriculum is available as part of an independent study course to meet the needs of students who are not able to attend traditional in-person classes. Check out this whitepaper about how instructors can support students who are using an independent study course.
