Academic & Career Readiness

The success indicators for Academic and Career Readiness are identified for each grade level band on the Cradle to Career Roadmap. Each is representative of a critical step in a student’s academic journey towards becoming a productive, contributing citizen while sustaining a career in his or her community. The Pillars of Support--Parents and Family, Education, Government, Business and Labor, and Community and Faith-Based--provide necessary scaffolding to ensure that the milestones are achieved.

How to Use EdTech to Develop an Equitable Instructional Strategy

In many ways, education has evolved and given way to a more thoughtful approach to intentionally designed digital learning. This paradigm shift has reinforced the idea that technology can and should serve as the foundation for schools and districts to scale upon, as it provides equitable access to quality teaching and learning. But true equity is achieved when students can learn at their own pace and educators have the tools and instructional methods to support personalized learning. To achieve this, educators must have access to tools to provide a consistent, familiar “digital classroom” that is accessible whenever, wherever students are ready to learn.
