Opis: Supporting the Dream - Charis McGaughy, Andrea Venezia

The purpose of this book is to help improve students' readiness for colleges and careers through the creation of partnerships between high schools and colleges. To achieve this goal, the book presents detailed and practical definitions, tools, strategies, and examples to help high schools, colleges, and communities partner to improve student learning and success as they navigate from one education sector into another and into the workforce. The tools and strategies are consistent with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS); using the information presented in this book will support efforts to implement the CCSS, but they will also help schools and colleges with other partnership efforts. The result of improved alignment across primary, secondary and post-secondary education will be increased readiness for post-secondary participation and success for a wider range of students. "Supporting the Dream clearly articulates the need for partnerships and provides a great framework for educators and community. For anyone looking to establish a college and career partnership, this should be a guiding resource." -- Todd M. Hurst, Director of Education and Workforce Innovation "As high schools strive to partner with post-secondary institutions to improve their students' college readiness, they will find the how-to answers here." -- Dave Daniels, Principal "All too often partnerships are started in isolation and are program driven. A process driven partnership, grounded in theory and focused on practical implementation, is an excellent addition to the literature. I believe it will be used by practitioners and researchers alike." -- Brian Durham, Senior Director "I found the material interesting, engaging, and important. This book provides a solid rationale for partnership. It includes a blueprint that is detailed enough to be helpful and loose enough to make clear that there is no one way approach; rather, partnerships must reflect their context." -- Natalie B. Schonfeld, DirectorPreface 1: Understanding College and Career Readiness 2: Creating a Framework 3: Organizing the Partnership 4: Determining Your Partnership's Effectiveness: Measuring Progress 5: Taking Action 6: Aligning Curricula Across Educational Systems 7: Supporting and Sustaining Partnerships
