Guaranteed Diploma

• Bringing education and business together required
  disrupting the system.
• Business community wanted change
• Education, as you might guess, did not.
• But, as you may also guess, we needed money

37
Guaranteed Diploma

• Regional survey asked typical question of voters
  would you support more money for schools
• Voters said NO
• We asked why
• We learned, among other things, voters did not
  believe students were learning the basics

38
Guaranteed Diploma

• To achieve financial support, we had to change
  public opinion
• Kent ISD recommended the Guaranteed Diploma
• Guarantee is this Kent ISD will guarantee the
  basic math and reading skills of our districts
  graduates

39
Guaranteed Diploma

• Business community said great but what makes
  this different?
• Our dialogue led to the use of WorkKeys as a
  common definition of basic skills
• We test 12,000 9th 10th graders a year
• Each must receive a level 4 on the reading and
  math tests to receive a guaranteed diploma

40
Guaranteed Diploma

• This has created a sea change in attitude about
  education in the business community
• Business leaders are going around the state
  saying others need to do what were doing
• Weve been written into a 15 million workforce
  reinvestment grant because of our innovation

41

• Good for community, but more importantly, good
  for kids

  high school curriculum to meet the needs of our
  lowest performers
• About 25-30 percent of students score below level
  4 and in the current curriculum, theres no way
  to catch up
• Now, were working on that, and the CRC

42
Next Steps

• Building capacity
• Start in 9th grade or BEFORE
• Target Groups
• Evaluation and Assessment
• Assessment, to be effective, should be linked to
  instruction. Link KeyTrain to content curriculum
  via collaborative planning and alignment across
  grade levels and content areas
• Validating the Results
• Acknowledge Success. In 2004, 16,346 students
  took the test in 2004. Of that number, 3,961
  (24.23) of the students tested, scored LEVEL 5
  in BOTH Reading for Information and Applied
  Mathematics. In 2005, 17, 873 took the exam, and
  4,442 scored Level 5 or above. an Increase of
