A high school diploma is no longer enough; now, nearly every good
job requires some education beyond high school such as an
associates or bachelors degree, certificate, license, or completion
of an apprenticeship or significant on-the-job training.
Far too many students drop out or graduate from high school
without the knowledge and skills required for success, closing doors
and limiting their post-high school options and opportunities.
The best way to prepare students for life after high school is to alignK-12 and postsecondary expectations. All students deserve a world-
class education that prepares them for college, careers and life.
Why College- and Career-Ready
Expectations for All?

The Jobs of Tomorrow

Matter of Degrees:Tomorrows Fastest GrowingJobs andWhy Community College Graduates WillGet Them. TheNew Democratic Leadership Council.
Nevada should be preparing students for the jobs of
tomorrow, not the jobs of yesterday or even today.
A quarter of American workers are now in jobs not even listed in the
Census Bureaus occupation codes in 1967.
Given the growth of new job sectors most notably green jobs it is
common sense to provide all students with a strong foundation that
keeps all doors open and all opportunities available in the future.

The Public Agrees That Education or
Training Beyond High School
is Necessary for Future Success

To really get ahead in life, a
person needs at least some
education beyond high
school, whether that means
university, community
college, technical orvocational school.
To really get ahead in
life, a person needs more
than just a high school

Personal Benefits of Education in Nevada
While there may be jobs available to high school dropouts and
graduates, they often pay l and off r l c rit ythan jobs
held by those with at least some postsecondary experience.

More education is associated with higher
earnings and higher rates of employment.

Nevadas Commitment to Closing the
Expectations Gap to Date
34
Nevada adopted the Common Core State Standards in June
2 1 .
Nevada has a P-2 longitudinal data system that matches
student-level data across K-12 and postsecondary systems on
a regular basis.Oregon is a Governing State in the SMARTER Balanced
Assessment Consortium (SBAC), a group of states working to
develop a common assessment system using Race to the Top
Common Assessment funds.
8/6/2019 Nevada State Education Data Profile - May 2011
35/36
How Nevada Can Continue to
Build on its Momentum
Realize the promise of the Common Core State Standards byimplementing them fully and successfully, taking into consideration the
related curricular and policy changes.
Adopt college- and career-ready graduation requirements, aligned to
the Common Core State Standards, to ensure all students are prepared,
and eligible, for entry into college and skilled careers.Remain committed to the goals of the common assessment
consortium and developing a next-generation, computer-based
assessment system that will measure the full range of the Common Core
State Standards.
Continue to make progress on the states data collection efforts,particularly around making student data available to relevant
stakeholders.
Re-examine the states K-12 accountability system to determine how it
can reward measures of college and career readiness.
