With education’s current focus on testing and results, it’s easy for both students and educators to lose track of what student readiness means. Using Dr. David Conley’s Four Keys to College and Career Readiness framework (Think, Know, Act, Go), our partnership consultants work with school and district leadership teams to develop a common understanding around a holistic definition of student readiness. This infographic poster highlights some of the key skills students should have when they graduate from high school. This poster can be freely reprinted for display in classrooms or common areas as a reminder to both students and teachers that lifelong learning and true readiness goes beyond fact memorization and test scores.
