What Does It Mean?

  • What does it mean to be College and Career Ready?

    According to David T. Conley's article "A Complete Definition of College and Career Readiness", students who are college and career ready are more likely to succeed in college courses and post-collegiate work. College and career ready students think more strategically, have more content knowledge, and have better learning skills and practices.
