- #9: Another way to look at it: Close the gap between students who are eligible for post-secondary education or a career path, and those who are ready to succeed Schools tell us, and what we’re aiming for, is to help ensure students are ready to succeed in whatever path they choose by the time they leave 12th grade. And even if schools do the Common Core perfectly, the research shows that there are still areas of readiness that are critical for students to succeed. We’ll get into those more later, but those areas are: Belief in possibilities Non-cognitive skills such as time management and adapting to changing circumstances College Knowledge Taking ownership over learning
- #10: Gallup research has shown that engagement in school is a key predictor of student success As students see the relevance of their education, they become more engaged Once students see that what they’re doing is relevant for their future, they will be motivated to engage and advance along their own path
- #11: The American Counselor Association says that, on average, counselors have a caseload of 471 students. The recommended case load is 250:1. In some states, the average caseload is actually over 1,000:1 Students need help navigating through middle and high school, and learning about their options. And schools need effective ways to help counselors and teachers in providing guidance and direction for students.

- #21: Who am I? Students struggle to identify areas of strength and what interests them. What do I want to be? Once students identify skills and interests, they can map those to career fields based. How will I get there? Once they finally figure out what they want to do, they have to figure out how they’re going to get there before it’s too late: Am I taking the right classes? Do I have the right test scores? What are the educational requirements? What additional skills and knowledge do I need? Are there extracurricular or service opportunities I should be considering? What about scholarships? Will I be successful? Many students are college eligible, but few are truly college ready, as evidenced by the high levels of remediation required. We need to bridge the gap between college eligibility and college readiness.
