Alternative career readiness measures for small and rural districts in Texas (open access)

Alternative career readiness measures for small and rural districts in Texas

This report describes information on the implications of the CCMR accountability standards for high school graduates by examining the extent to which the cohort of 2017–18 Texas public school graduates did not meet CCMR accountability standards, particularly for graduates in small districts and rural districts. The study also provides information on the extent to which graduates demonstrated career readiness via alternative career readiness options identified by TEA. Finally, the study explores whether graduates who met the alternative career readiness options attained similar postsecondary college and career outcomes to graduates who met CCMR accountability standards to inform the Commissioner of Education as he considers alternative career readiness options
