School Readiness Adopted by the State Board of Education in Dec. 2008: School Readiness describes both the preparedness of a child to engage in and benefit from learning experiences, and the ability of a school to meet the needs of all students enrolled in publicly funded preschool or kindergarten. School Readiness is enhanced when schools, families, and community service providers work collaboratively to ensure that every child is ready for higher levels of learning in academic content.

    20. Step 3: Assessment Launch a high school assessment pilot with multiple vendors and districts which identify the best instrument. This pilot begins in the Spring of 2009 and informs the state about which tools signal student readiness for postsecondary success. Implement a new state assessment system in 2012 which is relevant and has students apply their knowledge.
