% of Kansas w/ postsecondary degree or certification?




College and Career Ready means an individual has the academic

preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and

employability skills to be successful in postsecondary

education, in the attainment of an industry recognized

certification or in the workforce, without the need for

remediation.





Looking Ahead

We have to look at our data differently, instead of a singular focus on one test, one year.

We have to be comfortable and confident about raising the bar, and seeing different results.

We have to place a value on, and recognize all things that are important to preparing students for post secondary success.

We need to continue to grow in our profession.
