Macro Forces Influencing P-20
Education
Global Economic Competitiveness
     “The goal for America’s educational system is clear:
     Every student should graduate from high school ready for
     college and a career by 2020. We must lead the world in
     college completion by 2020.” –President Obama


     We’re in 16th place, and we’ve heard this before:
     • 1983 – A Nation at Risk (standards)
     • 1994 – Goals 2000 (performance targets)
     • 2001 – No Child Left Behind (accountability)
     • 2009 – ARRA /Race to the Top

Global Economic Competitiveness
     Supply & demand challenge:

     “In 15 years, the U.S. will be 1,000,000 degreed students
     short in order to fill U.S. jobs – 1,000,000 good-
     paying, professional jobs will need to be „outsourced‟”
                               –Bruce Vandal, Director, Postsecondary & Workforce
                                Development Institute, Education Commission of the
                                States, 2011

Consumer-Driven Education


                        17.6 M undergrads in
                        U.S. higher ed today:

          37%                   32%                36%
     Enroll part-time        Work full-time   Graduate in 4 yrs


     What are these buyers’ preferences and requirements?

22
Consumer-Driven Education
     And the customer will “look” different in the future:
     K-12 student demographics (2010 to 2020)
     •   flat for students who are White; Black;
     •   increase 25% for students who are Hispanic;
     •   increase 36% for students who are Asian/Pacific Islander
     •   increase 17% for students who are American Indian/Alaska Native

     HE student demographics (2010 to 2020)
     •   flat for students who are White; American Indian/Alaska Native
     •   increase 25% for students who are Black;
     •   increase 46% for students who are Hispanic;
     •   increase 25% for students who are Asian/Pacific Islander

24
Macro Forces and Policy

           K-12                               Postsecondary

     • Common Core State Standards        • Emphasis on college completion and
     • Common state assessments             “gainful employment”
     • Student growth monitoring and      • Shifting finance models in response
       engagement                           to decreased state funding (Obama
                                            efficiency demand)
     • Teacher and principal
       effectiveness                      • SROI of remediation
     • Statewide P-20 data systems        • Instructor effectiveness
     • Individualized Learning Plans      • Student “recovery”


     RttT “carrot” … Waiver “carrot/stick” … ESEA “stick”

25
State policy & individualized
student learning
Strong Message: Personalize
     Learning
     Hobsons 2011 P-20 Summit
“No org has been able to successfully assemble data to facilitate the career-
education trajectory”

                     “Too many students see $ as THE roadblock to postsecondary ed”

“TurboTax or Mint.com for ed decision-making”

                                        “Consistent solution throughout P-20 – sticky”

“Enable students to start their HE path earlier, if ready…dual enrollment”

      [Sample Board Members: Ron Huberman, JB Buxton, Margot Rogers, Larry Leverett, Eric
      Fingerhut, Bob Ptachik, Andy Rotherham, Barbara O‟Brian]

27
Individualized Learning Plan
     The ILP and state policy:
     • 25 states & D.C. mandate ILPs
     • 3 states mandate a guidance framework (no formal
       planning document)
     • 22 states do not have a mandate, but
        – 9 provide ILP models
        – 13 provide a guidance framework for districts to use

        Hobsons ILP report: http://www.hobsons.com/education-trends/resource-center/industry-reports/




28
Typical ILP Components
     • Academic Planning
     • Career Planning (career exploration, goal setting, resume
       builder)
     • Regular ILP updates/sharing/review (annually is most
       common)
     • Personal reflections
     • Personality and learning style assessments
     • Service learning capture
     • Link to learning support services
     • Portfolio


29
Best Practices for ILP
     Implementation
     ILPs that engage students:
     • Emphasize the individual in the ILP
        – Student learns about own learning strengths and needs
        – Student has tools to explore academic, career and personal
          interests and to make goals
        – Student owns planning, learning and outcomes
     • Create a support team for each student
        –   Parental/Guardian involvement
        –   Involve all appropriate staff in planning process
        –   Connect student to learning resources
        –   Peer support

30
Future Trends


              Closer connection with SIS >> data analysis




Beginning planning sooner >> 6th grade or earlier




31
Future Trends

                Develop curriculum around ILP development




     Planning process as tool for family engagement



              Every student >> a comprehensive support network



32
Discussion
How Does Florida‟s ePEP
     Compare with Other States?
     Like other states, ePEP focuses on appropriate
     courses for graduation & career interests.

     Questions:
     • How do students gain ownership of their ePEP?
     • How are students encouraged to reach academically?
     • What are the mechanisms to promote parent/guardian
       involvement in this process?
