Bridging the gap…

10

We’re aiming to help schools close the gap between what students aspire to

accomplish and what they actually achieve.

ASPIRATIONS ACHIEVEMENT

ACHIEVEMENT Sadly, achievement is lagging behind

ASPIRATIONS Students and parents from all demographics have high aspirations for students after high school

Bridging the gap…

11

A large part of that solution is bridging the gap between college eligibility and

college readiness.

ELIGIBILITY

READINESS

READINESS Yet many students are not ready for the next step, as evidenced by remediation

ELIGIBILITY Any student with a high school degree is technically eligible for college

Students have strong aspirations, but there is a disconnect between what

students want to do with their lives and knowing how they will get there.

The Student’s Perspective

12

How Will I Get There?

Once students figure out what they want to do, they have to determine how to get there

Who Am I?

Many students struggle to identify areas of strength

What Do I Want To Be?

Those who recognize their skills are often unsure where

to apply them

Will I Be Successful?

Students want to know if they will have the

qualifications and skills to reach their goals

Educators wish to help all students reach their full potential. But how?

The Educator’s Perspective

13

Clear Mandate Our country must help students connect the dots between their education today

and their lives in the future.

- Education Week

We need to take classroom learning beyond a

one-size-fits-all model and bring it into the

21st century.

- Arne Duncan

14

Enabling students to make their own plans puts

them in the driver’s seat and encourages a long-

term look at their course selection so their choices

match their career goals, experts say.
