College and Career Readiness Increase Graduation Requirements* Strategies for Consideration: • Four years of math • Four years of science • “College and career ready” credit - a career and technical education (CTE) course (linked to credential)- a college course- an advanced course (i.e., AP, IB) • A second Regents exam in mathematics • Increase the required passing scores on the English and math Regents exams to a level that is associated with college-readiness (75 in ELA; 80 in Math) • Extend the school day/school year * While the local diploma is being phased out for general education students, it remains available to students with disabilities through the “Safety Net” provisions of State regulations. The Safety Net could be extended to apply to new requirements. Taken from Commissioner Steiner’s January 2011 presentation
RTTT will Help Achieve Regents Goals Investing in 4 critical reforms • Adopting internationally-benchmarked standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and the workplace • Building instructional data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practice • Recruiting, developing, retaining, and rewarding effective teachers and principals • Turning around the lowest-achieving schools Taken from Commissioner Steiner’s January 2011 presentation

Knowledge and Skills for University Success (KSUS) Standards • Describe the cognitive skills and knowledge that students need in order to be successful in college • KSUS were developed and endorsed by 28 of the leading research universities in the US • The IB course standards were analyzed for alignment with KSUS by the Center for Policy Research (CEPR) and the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC)
From the analysis… “The results of this study clearly confirm the strong relationship between the IB Diploma Programme and standards for college readiness and success. The IB standards demonstrate a very high degree of alignment with the KSUS standards in all subject areas. In addition, many of the individual IB standards are at a level more advanced than entry-level college courses. These key cognitive skill areas are rarely addressed in state content standards but are identified almost universally by college instructors as being central to success in entry-level college courses. In short, students who participate successfully in IB should be well prepared to succeed in entry-level college general education courses…”
