  2. The Final Frontier: Tracking High School Graduates in College This presentation will explain a process that supports the expectation for districts to evaluate how their high school graduates do in college, informing New York State’s P-16 Initiatives. We will discuss how all Suffolk districts participated in a project to gather data, create reports, and assemble questions that focus on the issues. Information regarding quick, inexpensive and comprehensive collection of data will be provided. Report suggestions will be shared as well as a list of questions that might be asked by districts around these data.

  10. Race To The Top for High Schools High school has a new mission. No longer is it enough just to graduate students, or even prepare them for college. Schools must now show how they increase both college enrollment and the number of students who complete at least a year of college. In other words, high school must now focus on grade 13.

  11. A New Standard for Proficiency: College Readiness In the past, we defined Proficiency in relation to grade level standards. Such a definition did not provide children, families, and the schools that serve them with an indication of whether students were on a trajectory for college success. Now, we will redefine Proficiency for students in New York State to mean that a student is on track to succeed in college without the need for remediation. 12

  12. Students Earning Associate and Vocational Degrees • The number of students earning degrees and certificates from community colleges is 25 percent higher than it was a little more than a decade ago. • The number of students earning awards from for-profit vocational schools rose more than 50 percent. • Most of the overall increase has been driven by women and particularly women who are members of minority groups, seeking accreditation in the health-care industry. • The number of women earning awards beneath bachelor’s level increased by 31 percent, compared with 24 percent for men. National Center for Education Statistics, 1997 to 2007 Education Week, December 2, 2009 – page 5

  13. Nearly a third of all certificates and associate degrees awarded in 2007 were in health care, which was a 68 percent increase over that sector’s share in 1997. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that six of the top 10 fastest-growing occupations require postsecondary education below the bachelor’s level, with five of those occupations in medical fields. In 2007, Hispanic students earned 74 percent more overall awards and 88 percent more associate degrees than they did in 1997. More than half of postsecondary awards earned by Hispanic students in 2007, were below the bachelor’s level.
