School districts serving high school students are assessed based on how “prepared” students are for college and career using the College/Career Indicator (CCI). While the dashboard element of the CCI is paused, College credit-bearing courses continue to be submitted via CALPADS and reported on the “College/Career Measures Only Report.” Participants will hear from CDE administrators how the CCI is evolving and how to submit data via CALPADS to ensure your data is accurately represented. A district leader will share how CA school districts are systematizing the reporting process in collaboration with their partner community colleges and seeing growth in their college course completion data.
