    1. College Readiness Program A Collaborative Project between the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

    2. Overview Created under Article 5, HB 1 (79th, 3rd Called Session, Section 28.008) 3 Phases of Work Organization of the College Readiness Standards Connections Link to the College Readiness Standards Contact Information

    3. Article 5, HB 1 Public school educators and faculty of institutions of higher learning shall work within subject-specific vertical teams to address high school and college readiness curriculum issues. Establish four subject-specific vertical teams (English, Math, Science, and Social Studies).

    4. Phase I: The Teams Teams of 10 in each core subject—English, Math, Science, and Social Studies 40% Public Education 60% Higher Education 2 co-chairs—one from each sector 4 meetings before September 2007 Facilitated by the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC) from the University of Oregon

    5. Phase II: Alignment Reconstitute teams representing each core subject—English, Math, Science, and Social Studies (New percentages) 60% Public Education 40% Higher Education 2 co-chairs — one from each sector Evaluate whether HS curriculum requirements (TEKS) prepare students for college-level course work Recommend how HS curriculum can be aligned to CRSE

    6. Phase III: Tasks Develop instructional strategies to help prepare students for college-level work. Develop minimum standards for curricula, professional development materials, and online support materials for students who need additional assistance in both public and higher education.

    7. Organization of the Standards There are four subject areas and a set of cross-disciplinary standards. Each area presents knowledge and skill expectations hierarchically in order to reveal the structure of the subject. This is consistent with research on key skills for postsecondary success.

    8. Organization of the Standards III. Speaking (ELA Standard) B. Develop effective speaking styles for both group and one-on-one situations (Organizing concept) Plan and deliver focused and coherent presentations that convey clear and distinct perspectives and demonstrate solid reasoning (Performance expectation) Use clear and concise language to explain complex concepts (Performance indicator) The “performance indicator” level contains representative example performances

    9. Connections Health Science Technology I (One to Two Credits) (c) Knowledge and skills. (1) The student applies math, science, English language arts, and social studies in health science. The student is expected to: (d) demonstrate use of precise language to clearly communicate ideas; (e) plan and prepare effective oral presentations

    10. Connections III. Speaking (ELA Standard) B. Develop effective speaking styles for both group and one-on-one situations (Organizing concept) 3. Plan and deliver focused and coherent presentations that convey clear and distinct perspectives and demonstrate solid reasoning (Performance expectation) Health Science Technology I – (c) Knowledge and Skills The student applies math, science, English language arts, and social studies in health science. The student is expected to: (d) demonstrate use of precise language to clearly communicate ideas; (e) plan and prepare effective oral presentations

    11. Connections (CROSS-DISCIPLINARY) I. Key Cognitive Skills B. Problem Solving Analyze a situation to identify a problem to be solved. Develop and apply multiple strategies to solving a problem. Collect evidence and data systematically and directly relate to solving a problem. Health Science Technology I – (c) Knowledge and Skills (8) The student knows client’s rights and choices. The student is expected to: Evaluate situations related to client autonomy; Review documentation related to client’s rights and choices; and Develop awareness of age, cultural, and religious diversity as it relates to client care.
