  6. Five Components of College Readiness in a School District 4/3/2014

  7. What is College and Career Readiness?

  8. CCR - Conley’s Definition The level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed — without remediation — in a credit bearing course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program, or in a high ‐ quality certificate program that enables students to enter a career pathway with potential future advancement. Succeed is defined as completing the entry ‐ level courses or core certificate courses at a level of understanding and proficiency that makes it possible for the student to consider taking the next course in the sequence or the next level of course in the subject area or of completing the certificate. Source: 2007, 2010 Educational Policy Improvement Center, Conley (EPIC) 4/3/2014

  9. Why now?  The difference between being college eligible and college ready  Shifting expectations of students, parents, educators  Expansion of Advanced Placement , Dual Credit, national focus on completion/success in post-secondary programs  Increased rigor across all grades  Focus on gearing more students to be successful in rigor  Careers that don’t require a bachelor’s degree require the same math and reading skills for success  Programs that empower students and families to plan and prepare for post-secondary success. 4/3/2014

  10. Four Features of Deliberate Practice 1) specific action or concept that is trying to be improved; 2) challenge must exceed skill; 3) immediate feedback is required; 4) repetition, repetition, repetition! 4/3/2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrkwrHSfsMY

  11. Economic Quality of Life Relationship to College Employability and Earnings  Nearly 70% of all new jobs require education beyond high school  College graduates earn about $1 million more over the course of their lifetime than do high school graduates  Currently 33% of working adults in Indiana have a college degree today.  By 2025, at least 60% will need a college degree or credential to be employed Source: Indiana Department of Work Force Development
