Session Description: While “college and career readiness” is a familiar phrase, college and career are hardly on equal footing in how success is defined and measured. This facilitated community dialogue will bring participants together to examine how current readiness frameworks shape policy, accountability systems, and public narratives about school quality. Participants from different roles will engage in structured discussion about how readiness definitions can support high expectations while recognizing multiple pathways to economic stability and success.
Intended Audience: State education agencies; Districts, charters or other local education agencies; Senior leaders (including cabinet-level leaders and executive directors)
