College and Career and Citizenship Ready means that students exit high school qualified to enroll in high- quality postsecondary opportunities in college and career, including the U.S. Military, without need for remediation and equipped with the knowledge, skills and dispositions to make that transition successfully. This means that all students must graduate having mastered rigorous content knowledge and demonstrated their ability to apply that knowledge through higher-order skills including but not limited to critical thinking and complex problem solving, working collaboratively, communicating effectively, and learning how to learn. Students must also be prepared to navigate the pathways and systems that will allow them to gain access to positive postsecondary opportunities.

Delivery Systems 5.1.b. Integrated Delivery of WV Student Success Standards – The WVSSS (see incorporated documents) describe the attitudes, knowledge, skills and behaviors all students shall develop in relation to academic and learning development; career and life planning; personal and social development; and global citizenship. The WVSSS are critical to the holistic development of all students and require integration into all aspects of each student’s educational experience utilizing a variety of delivery modalities. The WVSSS are the foundational standards for each CSCP. The integrated delivery of these standards is coordinated by the school leadership team, the school counselor and teachers.
CSCP Four Student Standards areas: –ACADEMIC and LEARNING DEVELOPMENT –CAREER DEVELOPMENT and LIFE PLANNING –PERSONAL and SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT –GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP Programmatic Level Competencies (Elementary [3 levels], Middle and High School) –Competencies grouped by overarching Learner Outcomes
How the Student Success Standards were Developed Reviewed the current standards in Policy 2315 and the revised version from the Model Task Force. Reviewed other state and national standards and documents including: ASCA National Standards (same as 2001 Policy 2315) Utah Office of Education Comprehensive Counseling and Guidance Program (global citizenship) Connecticut State Board of Education Comprehensive School Counseling Program (programmatic levels) Council of Chief State School Officers (Global Competence Matrix) National Association of School Psychologists (School Mental Health) National Association for the Education of Young Children (developmentally appropriate practices) National Endowment for Financial Education College Board: National Office for School Counselor Advocacy National High School Center - College and Career Readiness Mapping the Landscape
West Virginia Student Success Standards REPLACE school counseling program standards Identify programmatic level competencies Everyone owns the responsibility to ensure student success and college and career readiness

West Virginia Student Success Standards (WVSSS) for Adolescent Level Programming (Grades 9-12) Competency Goal Setting and Attainment: ALP.SS analyze the relationship between behaviors, choices and consequences and apply a decision making model to achieve desired goals. HE.HS.5.01: apply a decision-making process for various life situations
Some mathematical content lends itself will to SSS Learning Outcomes For example: Learning Outcome: Practice Financial Responsibility
Middle School Objectives Related to “Practice Financial Responsibility” M.7.RP2 represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn. M.8.EE.5 graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare the cost of a cell phone plan represented by a graph to the cost of another represented by an equation.
GROUP DIALOGUE Give examples of how the WVSSS are being integrated in your schools. Discuss your role in coordinating integrated delivery of the standards Describe your leadership team and the process for ensuring integrated delivery of the WVSSS within your programmatic level
