Re-Think College and Career Readiness at Your School
Utah post-high school data indicate that youth with disabilities, and other subgroups, are demonstrating low outcomes in graduation rates, employment, and postsecondary education after exiting public schools. These data raise concerns about Utah schools adequately preparing struggling students for higher education programs. In this session, participants will obtain knowledge and understanding of strategies within special and general education settings. Additionally, participants will acquire dispositions for higher expectations for post-school outcomes for struggling students. Finally, participants will learn about an organizing framework with evidence-based strategies for improving college and career readiness, based on a synthesis of research on student success for students with disabilities. The framework includes academic and non-academic skills that may be integrated into a secondary curriculum to provide supports for students within a multi-tiered system. Learning activities will focus on increasing participant knowledge, skills, and dispositions toward improving post-school outcomes for struggling youth, including discussion and an interactive case study.
- Given the six domains of the College and Career Readiness (CCR) Framework and an online tool, participants will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of evidence-based strategies presented for each domain by applying them to a case study of a hypothetical secondary student.
- Given the CCR Framework and an online tool containing a checklist of evidence-based strategies for each of the domains, participants will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the Framework by assessing alignment of the strategies with current practices in their respective LEAs.
