A diploma is no longer enough!
High schools are graduating a greater percentage of students each year, but research shows that an increasing number of students are not ready for the workplace or the rigors of college. One study finds that only 26% of high school seniors have the requisite work-readiness skills. These skills are not job specific competencies, but rather soft skills like professionalism, leadership and problem-solving. An analysis of the 2018 ACT exam results indicates that more than 30% of test-takers did not meet any of the 4 college readiness thresholds set by the ACT and only 26% of test-takers likely have foundational work readiness skills.
CC Ready Rubrics
It all begins with clear expectations of what it truly means to be college and career ready. CC Ready Rubrics help districts clearly define the soft-skills that they are currently not measuring as part of their standard curriculum. CC Ready Rubrics scaffold critical soft skills from the expectations of a high school senior down to those relevant to a kindergartner.
CC Ready Reports
Do you have data about college and career readiness all over the place? Do you struggle knowing which student are on track for graduation, college success or career preparedness? CC Ready pulls together multiple sources of data into a single, easy-to-use, platform that informs ALL stakeholders. Teachers, administrators, counselors, students and parents can all access CC Ready Reports and get a clear picture of their progress and any gaps that may exist.
CC Ready Respond
CC Ready utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to provide early warning of students who are veering off track. Our one-of-a-kind system does not simply provide a color coded summary of test scores, attendance and other standard measures. Our system learns from historical data and takes a comprehensive look at a student to provide a likelihood of success for various outcomes. For example, the system could identify a student as having a 97% likelihood of graduating with a standard diploma but only a 42% of earning a diploma with advanced designation. The system can then help identify those areas that can have the greatest impact on improving the likelihood of success.
