9. It’s an economic issue when the unemployment rate for folks who’ve never gone to college is almost double what it is for those who have gone to college. It’s an economic issue when eight in 10 new jobs will require workforce training or a higher education by the end of this decade. It’s an economic issue when countries that out-educate us today are going to out-compete us tomorrow. – President Obama, July 2010

10. Education Requirements 2025Public Policy Institute of California

11. 21stCentury Student Outcomes and Support Systems

12. District Five Focus Areas Math English Special Education AVID English Language Learners

13. The Engineering programs have already demonstrated a high post-secondary educational enrollment rate as compared to all Career Technical Education programs in the district as well as in comparison to the AVID program that has been implemented district-wide. The data is repeated below in chart form to further illustrate this significant achievement.

14. Our Career Technical Education Programs have effectively supported the closing of the achievement gap for all sub-groups qualifying as “at risk” or “underrepresented”. Students in our programs have consistently improved their standardized test scores and have more than doubled the achievement rates in the State of California. The chart below illustrates this growth and compares our programs’ students to the State of California’s data as demonstrated through the California High School Exit Exam (Cahsee):

50. Carousel Activity In groups, take a marker with you, and visit each of the “data stations” Write down a factual statement about one of the following elements for each station (try to add something new to what’s already there): What the data “say” or mean; or What the data don’t “tell” us; or What additional info would you need or like to see to analyze? or What is the good news depicted? or What needs improvement?

51. Follow-up Discussion Return to your tables Take a “role” card – don’t share its contents with others at your table With the data statements provided, go through each of the five “framework” questions from the carousel activity, and review – does anything else need to be added? Be “in character” as you discuss Choose a “reporter” for the group Share out your group’s results with the rest of the room (not “in character”) What are the most important points surfaced during your discussions?

52. Data Follow-up Using Data to Improve Learning for All Five-step data cycle: 1 - Build Foundations Shared vision, values, parameters 2 - ID Student Learning Issue Focus for review Data Research Data Research 5 - Implement Monitor Achieve Results 3 -Verify Causes 4- Generate Solutions Research, best prax, Logic Model Data Research Data Research

53. Why Are the Data Important? Evidence of successes Evidence of need for improvement – help begin collaborative inquiry, not blame Preparation for college and career readiness benchmarks

54. “We use data to move from a culture of blame to a culture of wonder. We wonder why something is – or is not – occurring rather than ascribing blame. This wonder leads us to ask better questions and attempts to get at the causes of behavior.” Kay McClenney

55. What Is Career Readiness? ACTE White Paper Achieve White Paper Jigsaw reading activity – in groups, then share out

56. Jigsaw Activity Framework Questions What are 3 recommended skill sets for students to acquire in order to be career-ready? How do these skills differ from those required for college readiness? How do students benefit from being both college and career ready? How will you act to prepare students for both college and career readiness?

57. Quick-Write Write free-form for 3 minutes on your response to this prompt: How will the “career readiness” movement affect the day-to-day lives of my students in the coming five years? Will it prepare them for jobs of the future? Why or why not?
