SB08-212 Requirements:The First Task
• State Board of Education and Colorado Commission on Higher Education must adopt a Postsecondary/Workforce Readiness description by December 2009.
Guiding Questions
• What do students need to be successful once they leave high school?
• What are the 21st century skills that an employer needs to see, or the competencies a college instructor expects?
• Are there special considerations for the workforce or higher education in your region of the state?
