College and Workforce Ready
National research provides empirical evidence that the levels of readiness that high school graduates need to be prepared for college and workforce training are comparable.
All students, therefore, should “experience a common academic program….regardless of their postgraduation plans.”

CR Begins in Middle School
Examined the extent of early exploration and planning in certain college readiness areas
Setting educational goals Selecting classes Exploring Postsecondary options
Explore how parents, school staff and school experiences help students with their early educational planning
![Page 9: Using EXPLORE Results for Student Success. Gennine Brewer, MA Senior Consultant P-16 Assessment Services gennine.brewer@act.org 404-231-1952 ACT Atlanta,](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f425503460f94c6170e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CR Begins in Middle School
Four Policy Recommendations:
1. College Readiness should begin in middle school
2. Schools should explain to students and their parents the effects of taking a rigorous curriculum on their future educational, career and income options
3. Schools should use multiple sources of information, including standardized assessments, to help inform students and their parents of the students’ progress toward college readiness
4. Schools should work with families to calculate college costs and develop a plan to meet these rising costs.

When students’ skills are improved during middle school, the
results by the end of high school can be
astounding
MAKING READINESS A REALITYMonitor College Readiness Early
Based on more than 540,000 8th graders whotook EXPLORE in 2007:
Majority of students are not on target in middle school to be
ready for college-level work after high school
ACT data suggests that students who enter high school
lacking prerequisite skills rarely ever catch
up

Guiding Principles of CCRS
The CCRS tests are achievement tests. They are tests of acquired or developed abilities.
The tasks (questions) constituting all CCRS tests correspond to recognized middle and high school learning experiences.
The CCRS tests consists of complex, heterogeneous tasks that require students to use skills and knowledge developed over time to solve them.
Each test is developmentally appropriate for the grade level
