COLLEGE READINESS. The 2011 legislature amended s. 1008.30(3), F.S., to require the evaluation of college readiness for select students prior to grade 12 and to require that students with identified deficiencies complete appropriate postsecondary preparation instruction prior to high school graduation. Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, 11th grade students who score a level 2 or 3 in reading/writing and/or a level 2, 3 or 4 on the Algebra 1 exam and who do not have a college ready score on the ACT or SAT will be required to take the ACT Compass exam. A student may only have three attempts to take the ACT Compass exam at the University. Students’ scores are valid for a period of two years and will help determine appropriate course placement upon entering college.
COLLEGE READINESS. Yes, every student leaving high school should be prepared for college AND with the skills necessary to meaningfully join the labor market. College readiness and career technical education are not opposites. “Do not trust an engineer that did not get his hands dirty in high school.” 2. Talent/partnership. Yes, parents should have input in hiring the principals at their school sites; AND so should teachers. Article 33 of the Contract between UTR and WCCUSD specifies the ways in which the WCCUSD will consult with the UTR on the definition of educational objectives, the content of courses and curriculum and the selection of textbooks. And article 47, Shared Decision-Making, specifies the formation of a District Site Agreement Coordinating Council to initiate the on-site Shared Decision-Making Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Below are clarifications to the items that are below a 4: #2 – We need to have opportunities for all students, including those students that do not attend a UC or CSU school. A path to Community College or to a career can be a successful option for students. I would not want limit their opportunities by making a high school diploma dependent on UC or CSU requirements, but we absolutely need to raise the numbers of students that are UC and CSU eligible. #4 – Although I expect that every item include data, there may be a small number of decisions that this would not apply. #14 – This item needs deeper analysis, especially around the curriculum
