CAREER READINESS INDICATORS AND THEIR ROLE IN ACCOUNTABILITY

JOSH LANEY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

CO COLLEG EGE‐ AND AND CAREER CAREER‐RE READ ADY

• The goal for Alabama education is that each

student graduates from high school with the knowledge and skills to succeed in post‐high school education and the workforce without the need for remediation.

CO COLLEG EGE‐ & CAREER CAREER‐RE READ ADY RA RATE TE OF OF ALAB ALABAM AMA GRADU GRADUATE TES

• Alabama now gauges the success of its educational process in two

ways:

• 1. The first is with the graduation rate of Alabama’s students.
• The graduation rate is a measure of a student’s persistence

through to the completion of the K‐12 educational process.

• The graduation rate is also a measure of the appropriateness of

the supports provided to students as they progress through school.

• 2. The second measure of success is the college‐ and career‐ready rate of

Alabama’s graduates.

• The college‐ and career‐ready rate measures the preparedness of students for

college or careers upon exiting Alabama‘s K‐12 school system.

• The college‐ and career‐ready rate is a percentage calculated by dividing the

number of high school graduates who have successfully met an indicator of readiness for college or career with the total number of graduates.

• Alabama defines a student as college‐ and career‐ready if the student earns at

least one of the following:

• Alabama defines a student as college‐ and career‐ready if the student earns

at least one OR a combination of the following six indicators:

• 1. Benchmark score on any section of the ACT test. (Entered into INow by

ALSDE)

• 2. Qualifying score on an AP or IB exam. (Entered into INow by ALSDE)
• 3. Approved transcripted college or postsecondary credit while in high school.

(Entered into INow by LEA)

• 4. Benchmark level on the ACT WorkKeys. (Entered into INow by ALSDE)
• 5. Accepted for enlistment into the Military (Entered into INow by LEA)
• 6. Approved industry credential. (Entered into INow by LEA)

(NOTE: At this time, there are six indicators; however, others can be added in the future.)

WHA WHAT IS IS A BENCHM BENCHMARK ARK SC SCORE ON ON THE THE AC ACT TE TEST? ST?

• The benchmark score on each ACT subtest equates to a 50% chance of getting

a B or above in a credit‐bearing course in the same subject in a student’s freshman year in college:

• English = 18
• Math = 22
• Reading= 22
• Science = 23
• Students only have to meet ONE of these benchmarks!

WHA WHAT IS IS A QU QUALI ALIFYI YING NG SC SCORE ON ON AN AN AP AP OR OR IB IB EXAM EXAM?

• AP Qualifying Score = 3, 4, or 5
• IB Qualifying Score = 4, 5, 6, or 7

WH WHAT IS IS “A “APPROVED TRAN TRANSC SCRIPTED RIPTED CO COLLEGE EGE OR OR POSTSE STSECOND ONDAR ARY CREDIT CREDIT WH WHILE IN IN HI HIGH GH SCHOOL?” SCHOOL?”

• This encompasses more than “dual enrollment.” It

takes into consideration other venues as well like Early College, Summer Programs, etc., and it applies to both in‐state and out‐of‐state schools.

• INSTRUCTIONS TO SORTING DEPARTMENT:

SPECIAL PROJECT TO FIX ORDER #888

• Five long, blue plastic bins have been placed over by the overhead

door. Piled on the other side of this room, near the time clock, are several thousand steel rods of varying lengths. All of those rods must be sorted by length and placed in the bins.

• Bin “1” is for rods that are four to five meters long.
• Bin “2” is for rods that have a length of over five meters, up to

six meters.

• Bin “3” is for rods that have a length of over six meters, up to

eight meters.

• Bin “4” is for rods that have a length of over eight meters, up to

ten meters.

• Bin “5” is for warped or unsmoothed rods. These will not be

accepted.

• If these rods are not all sorted correctly, the customer will reject

the

• rder. We cannot afford to let that happen again. Work as quickly as

you can because Friday is the deadline for delivery of the order.

According to the instructions shown, what is a condition for project success other than delivery on time?

• A. All rods must be sorted by both length and

diameter.

• B. Rods eleven meters long must be leaned

against the overhead door.

• C. The customer does not want rods that are

warped.

• D. The five‐meter‐long rods must go in Bin 2.
• E. The ten‐meter‐long rods must arrive at the

customer in Bin 4.
