The new K-12 Career & College Readiness District Self-Assessment is now live!
|
For more than a decade, the term “college and career readiness” has been used to describe the end-goal for all secondary students in the United States.
|
Experts at Western Governors University (WGU) Labs have designed a district self-assessment tool to help K-12 district and school teams to reflect on how their people, systems, and processes may or may not support students’ postsecondary life readiness.
Complete the 30-question survey to participate in the free benchmarking initiative and you'll immediately receive a custom report with your results, along with how your district stacks up against national averages—a great starting point for spring planning!
|
After completing the 15 minute survey, you will receive a copy of your results, including a breakdown of your areas of strength and growth. Results will be anonymized and aggregated into the upcoming 2022-23 Career and College Readiness (CCR) Benchmark Report, expected to be published in May 2023.
