National Landscape

Today, more than ever, a world-class education is a prerequisite for success. America was once the best educated nation in the world. A generation ago, we led all nations in college completion, but today, 10 countries have passed

  • us. It is not that their students are smarter than ours. It is that these countries

are being smarter about how to educate their students. And the countries that

  • ut-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow.

We must do better. Together, we must achieve a new goal, that by 2020, the United States will once again lead the world in college completion. We must raise the expectations for our students, for our schools, and for ourselves—this must be a national priority. We must ensure that every student graduates from high school well prepared for college and a career.

  • President Barack Obama

College Going Process

26

slide-27
SLIDE 27

College-going is not a 4-year process

There is nothing universal about the decision to enter college. The same factors that lead some students to attend college have the opposite effect for

  • thers. These factors have such a significant impact on students that

students are likely unaware that they are being influenced. This means that the decision making process may actually not be a decision that the individual student makes. Rather, it may be made for the student long before (s)he enters high school.

Community College is NOT the Answer

Completing a CC training program is a way for students to transition to four-year program or start entry level careers however: § 2 of 10 CC students will transfer to a 4 year college § 1 of 10 CC students graduate from a 4 year institutions § Expectations for first-year CC students are low § Researchers recently found that CC students were expected to be proficient in higher-level algebra and geometry yet that knowledge was not needed to succeed in many of the programs at the CC.
