64 What Can We Do?
65 #1. STICK WITH THE JOB YOU HAVE STARTED: Put all kids not just some in a demanding high school core curriculum.
66 The single biggest predictor post high school success is the QUALITY AND INTENSITY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM Cliff Adelman, The Toolbox Revisited, U.S. Department of Education
67 Rigorous course of study in high school ALSO has benefits far beyond college.
68 Students of all sorts will learn more...

72 And they ll be better prepared for the workplace.
73 Leading states are making college prep the default curriculum. Texas, Indiana, Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, New York and 13 others
74 #2. Teachers matter a lot. Make sure yours have the help they need to succeed THE THE EDUCATION EDUCATION TRUST TRUST
75 10 Percentile Point Average Difference for Students who have Top and Bottom QuartileTeachers Source: Gordon, R., Kane, T.J., and Staiger, D.O. (2006). Identifying Effective teachers Using Performance on the Job. Washington, D.C.: The Brookings Institution.

77 Today, you are asking even the weaker ones to get 100% students through advanced courses, when they typically got fewer than half of their students through. They need help (or to be helped OUT of profession).
78 Stimulus/ARRA: Teacher Effectiveness a top priority To participate, states will have to link teacher and student data. For Race to the Top, will likely have to be on a track to use that data in evaluation and compensation.
79 #3. Get serious about improvement especially in low performing schools THE THE EDUCATION EDUCATION TRUST TRUST
80 Washington 10 th Grade Reading Performance by level of 2004 performance
81 Washington 10 th Grade Math Performance by level of 2004 performance
82 You started down the path of improved accountability, now How about ARRA?
83 #4. Get serious about getting more students into and through college THE THE EDUCATION EDUCATION TRUST TRUST
84 Current College Completion Rates: 4 Year Colleges Approximately 4 in 10 entering freshmen obtain a Bachelor s degree within 4 years; Within six years of entry, that proportion rises to about 6 in 10. If you go further, to look at graduation from ANY institution, numbers grow to about twothirds.
85 But graduation rates vary widely across the nation s postsecondary institutions
86 Some of these differences are clearly attributable to differences in student preparation and/or institutional mission.
87 But when you dig underneath the averages, one thing is very clear: Some colleges are far more successful than their students stats would suggest.

90 So, what do you learn? Some institutions that have same mission, same focus and serve essentially same students get far better results.

94 Source: Lots To Do. A good start? Include college going (overall and by group) in high school and college accountability systems; Hold colleges accountable for improving success and closing gaps between groups; Make sure financial aid (state and institutional) is focused on the students who need help the most; and, Reverse disinvestment in public higher ed.
