WE ARE EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS State’s first District Report Card: “Exceed Expectations ”

COLLEGE READY ≠ CAREER READY Career Readiness (defined):  Able to effectively navigate pathways that connect education and employment to achieve a fulfilling, financially-secure and successful career.  Understanding of personal interests and talents and the skills necessary for engaging in today’s fast -paced, global economy.  Requires adaptability and a commitment to lifelong learning, along with mastery of key knowledge, skills and dispositions that are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.  Career readiness has no defined endpoint but is rather part of a developmental continuum. Definition from NASDCTEc, 2012 and the Career Readiness Partner Council.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO POSTSECONDARY SUCCESS  Students are different; consequently, the path they take to achieving postsecondary success may be different.  There are many different starting points  4-year college  2-year college  Technical schools  Training programs  Military  There is no defined endpoint; rather a commitment to lifelong learning. Each stage of postsecondary education should:  be designed to meet student needs along a developmental continuum  consider economic conditions and labor market trends  provide alignment to the next stage in a student’s plan

TODAY’S REALITY The vision of a “4 year degree for all” can not be supported by current economic projections. Many students pursue a 4 year degree without an understanding of what they are investing in.  Average cost at a 4-year public university is $22,261/year 1  44% do not complete a 4 year degree within 6 years 2  48% of college graduates are underemployed 3 Without guidance, the 4 year degree can become the most expensive exercise in self exploration available to our students today. 1: College Board Trends in College Pricing 2012; 2: National Center for Education Statistics, 2012; 3: Center for College Affordability, Jan 2013;

THE IMPACT OF AN EVER CHANGING GLOBAL ECONOMY  Many of our students will work in jobs that don’t exist today.  ALL students need to see themselves as capable and valuable.  Must see the relevance to their goals in order to expend the effort required to succeed.  They need a “ Career Strategy ” instead of an expectation for “Job Security”  Students need to understand their options and be able to identify multiple pathways to future success  Students need to be good problem solvers to remain adaptable.  Students need to understand the way their world is engineered and be more than consumers of technology
