College and Career Readiness for All Students
"The higher the standards that are targeted, the clearer it becomes that the only way to take the students to those standards is early intervention and a long-term focus on improving the fundamentals of teaching and learning. Setting lower standards and targeting short-term incremental test score gains, on the other hand, often tempts educators into shortsighted 'quick-fix' practices."
District & School Services
NCEA and ACT will release a new, online, college and career readiness-focused service during the 2008-2009 school year, designed to help schools and districts assess their current practices and determine how those practices are impacting student achievement. It will include resources JFTK Website users are accustomed to seeing, along with helpful information tied to their performance and practices and a method to comprehensively study and record where improvement may be necessary. Our goal for this service is to complement existing school and district plans and processes to improve performance and address practice issues. Updates on this exciting new service will be available on our website later this fall.
