Riverside Unified School District October 29 th Board Study Session THE ROAD TO COLLEGE AND CAREER SUCCESS

Districtwide Federal and State Measures FIRST Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) ELA Math Academic Performance Index (API)

Today, however, workplace readiness demands the same level of knowledge and skills as college readiness.... many of the jobs that can support a family require knowledge and skills comparable to those expected of the first-year college student (ACT, 2006) And by postsecondary we mean primarily two-year or four-year institutions, trade schools, and technical schools. American College Testing (ACT) defines college readiness as the level of achievement a student needs to be ready to enroll and succeed— without remediation—in credit-bearing first-year postsecondary courses.
