College & Career readiness
College and Career Readiness means students exit high school prepared for success in a wide range of high quality post secondary opportunities. Specifically College and Career Ready refers to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to be successful in post secondary education or training that leads to gainful employment.
College Readiness means being prepared to enroll in and successfully complete entry level credit bearing academic programs at 2 and 4 year post secondary schools as well as being equipped with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to transition successfully. This entails having mastered rigorous content knowledge, demonstrated ability to apply knowledge through higher order skills, and the ability to navigate the pathways that will gain access to post secondary opportunities.
Career Readiness involves three major areas: core academic skills and the ability to apply those skills in concrete situations in order to function in the workplace and in routine daily activities; employability skills (such as critical thinking and responsibility) that are essential in any career area; and technical, job specific skills related to a specific career pathway. These skills allow students to enter career pathways that offer gainful employment and opportunities for advancement.
While there may be specific dispositions necessary for individual careers, the basic dispositions for the post secondary success are aligned for both college and career readiness. Supported by research as strongly predictive of academic and lifelong success, these dispositions can be defined broadly as:
