College Readiness Indicator Systems: Voices in Urban Education (VUE 35)

Making sure that students graduate high school prepared for college and work has acquired increasing urgency in education reform today. But how do we know when a student is “college ready?" And, most importantly, how do we use that information to design effective supports and interventions? In this issue of VUE, researchers from AISR and the John W. Gardner Center (JGC), district and school administrators, and a college president address these questions, building on the work of the College Readiness Indicator Systems initiative, a project of AISR, JGC, the Gates Foundation, and the Consortium on Chicago School Research.
