Student Data is an essential component to school improvement.
​
Schools are encouraged to use the results of the Becoming Aware Assessment as program data in the school improvement process.
​
Schools should also use college readiness indicators to track progress toward the ultimate goal of college readiness and college persistence.
​
Data sources listed that can provide school-wide information and comparison data for progress monitoring toward the goal.
​
In helping individual students plan and track their own readiness levels, I recommend using a matrix with options to demonstrate readiness.
​
Redefining Ready is a national initiative with a research-based list of indicator options.
​
The Alaska Performance Scholarship is an Alaska initiative to encourage a college and career readiness through standards for GPA, rigorous curriculum, and a test score.
​
I suggest a modified version of the Redefining Ready matrix to include the targets of the Alaska Performance Scholarship:
​
