Subsequently, the next two workshops (Phase 2: Defining a System) provided the opportunity for educators from different regions of Colorado to develop student performance outcomes, or observable behaviors, within and across the PWR competencies. They used their experience, as well as voices from the postsecondary and workforce world, to guide the development of these outcomes, for the following PWR competencies:

Because of the nature of the PWR competencies the educator workgroup needed to define in these two days, this research-based primer was sent as pre-reading for this workshop. The group engaged in discussion of this text and its implications for their work for the day.

College and Career Readiness
The question of what defines college and career readiness is complex and controversial. The world is changing quickly, and many bright minds are trying to determine what young people need to know and do to be successful today. These resources are just a few that give insight into the national conversation on this topic, which could inform the draft performance outcomes for Colorado's graduating seniors. Educators developing the PWR performance outcomes were free to be informed by other sources coming directly from the voices of higher education and industry.

Affinity Mapping.pdfAt the start of day 2 of this workshop, educators were asked to reach a new level of synthesis of the twenty-two competencies named in the 2015 PWR document. This involved making accessible every performance outcome developed in the previous workshop and in the previous day, and engaging in messy discussion, productive struggle, elimination of some and preservation of other areas of overlap, and reorganization of all PWR outcomes into ten high demand and high leverage competencies or skill sets.
