Description:
This document provides information that can be used to better understand the seven keys to college readiness. The document compares the seven keys with their corresponding strategic plan targets; presents some of the research and analyses that were used to inform decisions about the selections of the current performance levels for each of the seven keys; and discusses some next steps that MCPS will take as the district uses the seven keys to monitor the college and work readiness of all students.
Recommendations:
Continue to study the seven keys and modify the levels of rigor associated with each key as needed.Use multiple measures, as well as the seven keys, to monitor student progress but do not use the seven keys to create a sense of certainty about students' college and work readiness.
