STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, CAREERS AND LIFE

A high school diploma is no longer enough; now, nearly every good job requires some education beyond high school – such as an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, certificate, license, or completion of an apprenticeship or significant on-the-job training.
Far too many students drop out or graduate from high school without the knowledge and skills required for success, closing doors and limiting their post-high school options and opportunities.
The best way to prepare students for life after high school is to align K-12 and postsecondary expectations. All students deserve a world-class education that prepares them for college, careers and life.
Why College- and Career-Ready Expectations for All?

A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IS NOLONGER ENOUGH FOR SUCCESSThe changing economy is accelerating theexpectations gap, as careers increasingly requiresome education/training beyond high school,and more developed knowledge and skills.

Jobs in Today’s (and Tomorrow’s) Workforce Require More Education and Training

The Rise of Middle-Skill Jobs
5Source: Holzer, Harry J. and Robert I. Lerman (February 2009). The Future of Middle-Skill Jobs. Brookings Institution.
High-skill jobs
Occupations in the professional/technical and managerial categories.
Often require four-year degrees and above
Middle-skill jobs
Occupations that include clerical, sales, construction, installation/repair, production, and transportation/material moving.
Low-skill jobs
Occupations in the service and agricultural categories.
Often require some education and training beyond high school (but typically less than a bachelor’s degree), including associate’s degrees, vocational certificates, significant on-the-job training.

Demand for Middle-Skill Workers Outpaces Montana’s Supply

In 1950, 60% of jobs were classified as unskilled, attainable by young people with high school diplomas or less. Today, less than 20% of jobs are considered to be unskilled.
One result: The demand for middle- and high-skilled workers is outpacing the state’s supply of workers educated and experienced at that level.
81% of U.S. jobs are middle- or high-skill (jobs that require some postsecondary education or training).
Yet only 38% of Montana’s adults have some postsecondary degree (associate’s or higher).

The Jobs of Tomorrow
8Source: Milano, Jessica, Bruce Reed & Paul Weinstein Jr. (Sept 2009). A Matter of Degrees: Tomorrow’s Fastest Growing Jobs and Why Community College Graduates Will Get Them. The New Democratic Leadership Council.
Montana should be preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow, not the jobs of yesterday – or even today.
A quarter of American workers are now in jobs not even listed in the Census Bureau’s occupation codes in 1967.
Given the growth of new job sectors – most notably “green jobs” – it is common sense to provide all students with a strong foundation that keeps all doors open and all opportunities available in the future.

The Public Agrees That Education or Training Beyond High School is Necessary for Future Success

To really get ahead in life, a person needs at least some education beyond high school, whether that means university, community college, technical or vocational school.
To really get ahead in life, a person needs more than just a high school education.

Personal Benefits of Education in Montana
While there may be jobs available to high school dropouts and graduates, they often pay less and offer less security than jobs held by those with at least some postsecondary experience.
The link between educational attainment and gainful employment is clear:
More education is associated with higher earnings and higher rates of employment.

Montana’s Commitment to Closing the Expectations Gap to Date
32
Montana is a Governing State in the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), a group of states working to develop a common assessment system using Race to the Top Common Assessment funds.
Montana’s data system currently only satisfies seven essential Data Quality Campaign elements; Montana is committed to building a P-20 longitudinal data system that matches student-level data across K-12 and postsecondary systems on a regular basis.
![Page 33: HOW WELL IS MONTANA PREPARING ALL STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, CAREERS AND LIFE May 2011.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649ce35503460f949af8aa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How Montana Can Continue to Build on its Momentum…
…Adopt and realize the promise of the Common Core State Standards by implementing them fully and successfully, taking into consideration the related curricular and policy changes.
…Adopt college- and career-ready graduation requirements, aligned to the Common Core State Standards, to ensure all students are prepared, and eligible, for entry into college and skilled careers.
…Remain committed to the goals of the common assessment consortium and developing a next-generation, computer-based assessment system that will measure the full range of the Common Core State Standards.
…Continue to make progress on the state’s data collection efforts, particularly around making student data available to relevant stakeholders and linking K-12 and postsecondary student-level data.
…Re-examine the state’s K-12 accountability system to determine how it can reward measures of college and career readiness.
