CCR: Reauthorizing NCLB/ESEA

“Every student should graduate from high school ready for college and a career, every student should have meaningful opportunities to choose from upon graduation from high school.” President Obama in Blueprint for Success, 2010

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/blueprint/index.html 

The administration has a goal that by 2020, the U.S. will return to having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world

So What’s Happening?

Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and National Governors Association (NGA) developed and then released the Common Core State Standards June 2010

“fewer, clearer, higher”Federal grant funds: Race to the Top and

Investing in Innovation required use of CCSS for applicants

Currently 45 states & Washington, D.C. have adopted the standards

Assessment Implementation

2011-2012 School Year Technology audit of states and districts Writing and piloting test items Create item bank and digital resources Develop participation and accommodations policies Begin teacher institutes in “governing” states

2012-2013 & 2013-2014 School Years Enlarge field testing Continue state and educator professional

development Design and implement test platform Setting performance level descriptors

Are College and Career Ready the same?

Academic skills only?Some suggest that being Career Ready

involves more than core academic skills. What about employability skills and

technical, job-specific skills? “Soft-skills” – problem solving,

communication, teamwork, technology, adaptability…

Anxiety

“…While I like the idea of everyone in the nation finally (with skepticism) being taught and held to the same academic standards, I wonder how

that will have an impact on students with exceptionalities…” (Richard, on

CEC blog)

CCR Challenges

• www.betterhighschools.org48

1. What it means to be college and/or career ready is neither explicit, shared, nor easily measurable

2. The mission, organization, structures, and cultures of many high schools aren’t currently designed to support CCR for ALL students

3. A wide variety of service providers and implementers are targeting specific components of the broader CCR landscape with only minimal alignment of their efforts

Discussion Questions

 1. How you might use the resources presented in your role as

teacher educator/personnel development provider? 2. How can we best prepare professionals to provide secondary

 3. What are the barriers to preparing professionals to provide

secondary students with skills necessary to become college and career ready?
