For too many graduates, the American high school diploma |
|
signifies only a broken promise. While students and their |
|
parents may still believe that the diploma reflects |
|
adequate preparation for the intellectual demands of |
|
college or work, employers and postsecondary institutions |
|
know that it often serves as little more than a |
|
certificate of attendance. What will it take to restore |
|
value to the American high school diploma? First, state |
|
policymakers need to anchor high school graduation |
|
requirements and assessments to the standards of the real |
|
world: the knowledge and skills that colleges and |
|
employers actually expect if young people are to succeed |
|
in their institutions. In return, colleges and employers |
|
need to start honoring and rewarding student achievement |
|
on state standards-based assessments by using these |
|
performance data in their admissions, placement and |
|
hiring decisions. This executive summary highlights |
|
recommendations detailed in the full report for states |
|
and and postsecondary institutions, the federal |
|
government, and business leaders. [For the full report, |
|
