2 Reflect for a moment on this quote by Dr. McGuire Our success as a school district is not measured by how well our students perform while in WWS, but rather on their success the day after graduation. Who is that person that made the biggest difference for you post graduation?

4 Rigor -To provide meaningful and engaging work in the pursuit of profound learning. Aligned curriculum (K-12+) Non Cognitive Skills *How do you handle success/failure *Perseverance *Social Skills GUIDING PRINCIPLES 4 th Grade Parent Orientation Night Be there!
5 Intelligence is not fixed People who hold the Growth Mindset believe that intelligence can be developed, that the brain is like a muscle that can be trained. This leads to the desire to improve and persevere. Dweck, Carol S., MINDSET
6 Five Components of College Readiness in a School District 4/3/2014
7 What is College and Career Readiness?
8 CCR - Conley s Definition The level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed without remediation in a credit bearing course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program, or in a high quality certificate program that enables students to enter a career pathway with potential future advancement. Succeed is defined as completing the entry level courses or core certificate courses at a level of understanding and proficiency that makes it possible for the student to consider taking the next course in the sequence or the next level of course in the subject area or of completing the certificate. Source: 2007, 2010 Educational Policy Improvement Center, Conley (EPIC) 4/3/2014
9 Why now? The difference between being college eligible and college ready Shifting expectations of students, parents, educators Expansion of Advanced Placement, Dual Credit, national focus on completion/success in post-secondary programs Increased rigor across all grades Focus on gearing more students to be successful in rigor Careers that don t require a bachelor s degree require the same math and reading skills for success Programs that empower students and families to plan and prepare for post-secondary success. 4/3/2014
10 Four Features of Deliberate Practice 1) specific action or concept that is trying to be improved; 2) challenge must exceed skill; 3) immediate feedback is required; 4) repetition, repetition, repetition! 4/3/2014
