readiness standards state based program

  • A handful of states have taken action toward improving college readiness -- notably Arkansas, California, Indiana, Georgia, Kentucky and Texas, all of which have at least established specific state policy agendas for dealing with the problem
  • There is simply not the critical convergence of thinking around various elements of the readiness challenge that is necessary for all interests to establish or commit to a bold action agenda.
  • n other words, frequently the most difficult task is defining the problem clearly and in such ways that all of the key parties embrace the definition. The solutions are more apparent when the definition is clarified.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Improving college readiness depends on strengthening high school graduation requirements and diplomas, but states and higher education systems cannot delay dealing with the readiness problem until these graduation requirements rise to meet college-readiness standards
  • We must specify what readiness means in those essential skills that every person needs to learn further in school and at work -- reading, writing and math.
  • Sixth, postsecondary education and the public schools need to recognize that meeting the college-readiness challenge will center on setting specific, measurable performance standards in key learning skills and having more students achieve them.
  • uniformly communicating them to all high schools in a state.
  • College readiness will be improved only when high school classroom teachers receive clear and concise signals about standards, backed by all of postsecondary education in their state

readiness at-risk

shared by Kevin Forgard on 05 May 09 - Cached
  • Our calculation of high school graduation rates demonstrates that the public school system is not only losing 30% of all its students before graduation, it also loses disproportionately more black and Hispanic students than white and Asian students.
  • Based on the overall findings of our study, we conclude that by far the most important reason black and Hispanic students are underrepresented in college is the failure of the K-12 education system to prepare them for college, rather than insufficient financial aid or inadequate affirmative action policies

    Research focused on readines issues demonstrates that HS need to do more to prepare learners for college, espcially minority students.

  • After synthesizing data from many sources, I estimate that 60 percent of students ages 17 to 20 in two-year colleges, and 30 percent in four-year institutions, need remedial courses.
  • All analysts agree that there has been remedial outsourcing by four-year institutions in the last decade
