Student Success By 2020, 71% of jobs in Kansas will require
postsecondary education. This is 6 percentage points above the national average of 65%. Kansas ranks 6th nationally in postsecondary education intensity for 2020. Georgetown Public Policy Institute

Postsecondary Evidence

COLLEGE AND CAREER READY means an individual has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and employability skills to be successful in postsecondary education, in the attainment of an industry recognized certification or in the workforce, without the need for remediation.

Indicators vs. Evidence
Indicators of Student Success: Things that are measured before a student graduates High School. Assessment Performance; state, ACT/SAT, other College credit hours earned, AP/IB Industry recognized Certifications Workforce skills; Workkeys, ASVAB, Evidence of Student Success: Information that is taken after the student has graduated High School. High school graduation rate Postsecondary enrollment; % entering postsecondary Remediation; % needing remedial courses/programs Persistence; % completing their first year
20
What If? We could increase the high school graduation rate?
We could increase the % of graduates entering postsecondary institutions? We could decrease the % of our graduates needing remediation postsecondary? We could increase the % of students successfully completing their first year and returning for a second year? We could get more kids into “hard to fill” programs? THEN, we could close the gap between the % of jobs requiring postsecondary completion, and the % of Kansans acquiring postsecondary completion!
