Agenda: Assumptions & Data
Let’s define terms
The labor market and crystal balls
30 years of high school reform ‘churn’
Making high school matter
The ‘boy’ problem

COLLEGE FOR ALL OR . . .
CAREER & COLLEGE READY
Aligning Education and Labor Market Needs

Defining College & Career Ready
Whatever skills needed to succeed in credit bearing
CC courses (Tucker, NCEE)
Being ready for college means that a high school
graduate has the knowledge and skills necessary to
qualify for and succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing
college courses without the need for remedial
coursework. (Achieve Inc)
4 years of math, English; 3 years of science & social
science (College Board)
Skills needed for living-wage, entry level jobs are
same as skill needed to succeed in college (ADP)
![Page 7: Building the Career & College System2012.ccpc-conference.net/sites/2012.ccpc-conference.net/files/CA... · • Allied health • Law enforcement ... are the Same Needed for Careers](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060608/605f5780499bf616b81a1735/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Another perspective
No support … that those not going to college need to be qualified to enter college credit courses in order to enter the workforce.
Becoming qualified for college-level classes or for entering a job directly out of high school is not the sole purpose of a high school education, e.g. preparing citizens to participate in a democracy.
Barton, P (ETS, 2006)

College Degree: At What Cost?
According to the Public
Interest Research Group's
Higher Education Project,
39 percent of new
graduates with loans carry
an "unmanageable debt,"
![Page 9: Building the Career & College System2012.ccpc-conference.net/sites/2012.ccpc-conference.net/files/CA... · • Allied health • Law enforcement ... are the Same Needed for Careers](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060608/605f5780499bf616b81a1735/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Two New Reports
Career & College Ready

What is the right goal for the U.S.?
“College for All” needs to be broadened to mean a
meaningful “post-high school credential” for all
A meaningful credential can be earned in many ways:
• Community college
• Apprenticeships
• The military/community service
• Four year college
![Page 11: Building the Career & College System2012.ccpc-conference.net/sites/2012.ccpc-conference.net/files/CA... · • Allied health • Law enforcement ... are the Same Needed for Careers](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060608/605f5780499bf616b81a1735/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Two Key Questions for CCR:
1. What is the appropriate mix of
academic, occupational and technical
skills required for the emerging labor
market?
2. How can schools help students
develop these skills?

Urban Myths Driving Education Reform
India & China are producing more
engineers than U.S.
US=222,000; India=215,000; China=352,000*
We are not graduating enough engineers
S&E wages have actually declined in real
terms and unemployment rates have
increased**

More STEM or . . .
S&E occupations make up only about one-twentieth (5%) of all workers (5.3%) in 2018 Urban
Institute, 2007; (6%) in 2018, Carnevale, 2010.
435,000 U.S. citizens and permanent residents a year graduated with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in science and engineering. Over the same period, there were about 150,000 jobs added annually to the science and engineering workforce. . http://www.businessweek.com/print/smallbiz/content/oct2007/sb20071025_827398.htm

IS THERE A SHORTAGE OF
SCIENTISTS?
Murray said that none of the companies she has
talked with has suggested that there is a shortage of
qualified chemists or life scientists. She said that
employers’ greatest concern “is not numbers, it
is training.” She cited the example of managers who
told her they could interview hundreds of candidates
for an organic chemistry position but wish they knew
how to identify those candidates who “can behave
collaboratively” and have the other broad
competencies discussed at the workshop. She
argued that the degree to which scientists have these
other capabilities “really seems to be the problem.”

Middle-skilled jobs represent
the largest number of total
openings in the United States
until 2016, and the United
States is failing to adequately
train Americans to take
advantage of this opportunity.
These jobs do not always
require a college degree, but
most require training, technical
sophistication and initiative.

offshore easily.

30 YEARS OF “REFORM”

What does it take to obtain
good jobs (Myth or Reality)?
Research by American Diploma Project indicates that regardless if students go on to college or into the workforce after graduation, they still need the same knowledge and skills, particularly in English and mathematics. At a minimum, high school course requirements need to cover four years of rigorous English and four years of math, including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and data analysis and statistics.
The 4x4 approach

The Education Challenge & CTE
. Engagement - Completing secondary
education; completing postsecondary
credential
. Achievement - test scores and
industry recognized credentials
. Transition - to continued education
and training and/or the workplace

Caution on interpreting data
The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans
The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

As I Imagine the future…
• World class curriculum…
• Critical thinking developed by using academic skills to solve real
problems in class and on the job
• Builds related academic, occupational and technical skills
• Delivered by world class teachers who
• are technical masters
• can link related academics to technical content
• supported by employers who engage your students
• Situated in programs that build on intensive career development,
provide career pathways that link K-12 to postsecondary education
and industry recognized credentials for careers that matter
• “3-Dimensional Learning”
