Getting Ready for College, Careers, and the Common Core (ePub)

Create programs that prepare students for college, careers, and
the new and challenging assessments of the Common Core State
Standards

Written for all educators but with an emphasis on those at the
secondary level, this important resource shows how to develop
programs that truly prepare students for both the Common Core
assessments and for college and career readiness. Based on multiple
research studies conducted by Conley as well as experience he has
gained from working with dozens of high schools that succeed with a
wide range of students, the book provides specific strategies for
teaching the CCSS in ways that improve readiness for college and
careers for the full range of students.

* Draws from research-based models for creating programs for high
school students that will ensure readiness for tests and for
college and beyond

* Includes strategies and practices for teachers to help students
develop postsecondary preparedness

* Is the third in a series of books on readiness written by David
Conley, including College Knowledge and College and
Career Ready

Teachers can use this valuable resource to understand the "big
picture" behind the Common Core State Standards, how to teach to
them in ways that prepare students for new, challenging assessments
being implemented over the next few years and, more importantly,
how to help all students be ready for learning beyond high
school.
