Every Child Every School Every Community College and Career Ready Common Core State Standards Indiana’s College and Career Ready Standards
Why? • We care about our kids • New beginning for our kids • They move on with their lives • They can obtain successful livelihoods in jobs, apprenticeships, military • So they can go on to college • They begin their lives as adults
But in reality..... What does that pretty little piece of paper mean? Not Much…. • Varies from state to state
What should it mean? College and Career Readiness
30% of high school graduates who take the Armed Forces Qualification Test do not pass it. http://d15h7vkr8e4okv.cloudfront.net/NATEE1109.pdf
For students going to Indiana community colleges: $35 Million is spent on remediation. Of those students receiving remediation, fewer than 25% will earn any degree. Approximately $27 million http://www.in.gov/che/files/CCA_Smarter_Choices_Faster_Completion_Summary.pdf and http://www.in.gov/che/files/Dashboard_13009.pdf
In Indiana, the lack of College and Career Readiness has led to a skills gap. 2.4 unfilled STEM jobs for every unemployed Hoosier. http://www.courierpress.com/news/2013/aug/28/no-headline--workforce/?print=1
In 2012, 54% of jobs in Indiana were classified as “middle-skill.” LPN Electrician Welders Truck Drivers Only 47% of Hoosiers have the skills and credentials for these positions. 13% of these jobs will remain unfilled. http://www.nationalskillscoalition.org/assets/reports-/2013-09_indianas-forgotten.pdf
5% of all jobs in Indiana are unfilled because of a lack of qualified workers to fill them. Nationally, it is 9%. Bureau of labor statistics
Another inherent problem with current standards Mobility • 15-20% of American school children move in any given year. • Students living below the poverty line are twice as likely to move as those living above it. • In 2012 16% of high school students in Indiana, roughly 1 in 6, switched high schools during the course of the school year. http://www.doe.in.gov/sites/default/files/accountability/2012-mobility-report-school.xlsx http://www.edweek.org/ew/issues/student-mobility/
Mobility (continued) • 1 in 6 third graders has attended 3 or more schools. • These children receive very little protection • under No Child Left Behind. • Military students typically attend 6-9 schools • between Kindergarten and 12thgrade. http://www.stcloudstate.edu/tpi/initiative/documents/preparation/School%20Mobility%20and%20Student%20Achievement%20in%20an%20Urban%20Setting.pdf http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d1140.pdf
