This study explored the attribution of responsibility for teaching skills and strategies associated with college readiness in a sample of 847 teachers, 69, counselors, 53 administrators who completed the College Career Ready School Diagnostic [ed: now CampusReady] in the spring of 2011. We found that school staff most often attributed responsibility for teaching Key Learning Skills and Strategies and the Key Cognitive Strategies to teachers, however teachers attributed responsibility to themselves just 56% and 50% of the time respectively. The results of this study can inform schools about how to best target professional development towards staff to ensure that all staff are responsible for student development of the Key Cognitive Strategies and Key Learning Skills and Strategies.
