College & Careers
College & Career Readiness at the College level means students exit high school prepared with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to succeed in a wide range of high quality post-secondary educational opportunities that lead to a certificate, license, or degree. Included with this definition is the assumption that students are self-motivated and academically prepared, they exercise self-care and well-being, they have a knowledge of financial and digital literacy, and possess higher order executive function skills - including organization, cognitive flexibility, goal directed persistance, working memory, and more.
