Education For Employment (PI.26)
Shared Objectives:
● Prepare all students for future employment● Ensure technical literacy; to promote lifelong learning● Promote good citizenship● Promote cooperation among business, industry, labor,
post-secondary schools, and public schools● Establish a role for public schools in the economic
development of WI
The legislation was revised to include Academic and Career Planning Services.
“The School District of New Berlin is committed to developing a passion for lifelong learning. We do this by ensuring that every student sees the relevance in what they are learning to their personal, academic, social and career goals. Students who are engaged are more likely to pursue rigorous learning experiences that challenge their understanding and develop their unique talents in ways that would otherwise not be possible …….

PI.26 E4E In Relation to Current State Accountability and Funding
Core Premise:“We all learn in a variety of ways.
Our students learn in a variety of ways. They should be able to demonstrate
readiness in a variety of ways.”
AASA looked at the research from leading educational institutions and
research organizations to develop a new multi-metric, research-based definition of
College and Career Ready.

State Advocacy – Advisory CommitteeISBE (ESSA)DRAFT
We like …..- Having State accountability aligned with the shared objectives of “PI.26 Education for
Employment”.- Using a research-based multi-metric framework with a common set of academic and
career ready indicators.- The “Distinguished Scholar” designation requested by the IL Department of
Education.- Multiple “options” for earning a “College and Career Ready” designation.- The commitment to allow local school districts flexibility in how they develop, offer
and measure the success of their programs and services.
We wonder …...- If it will be possible to reach consensus about what each of the indicators ‘mean’.- Where ACT WorkKeys fits into a future State report card.- What the recommended “Elementary” and “Life Ready” indicators might look like.
We wish …...- There was a different descriptor than “pathways” to describe the alternatives for
achieving the “College and Career Ready” designation.- That there was a clearer standard for each of the criteria.

Is your district providing opportunities for students to graduate able to
articulate why they feel they are ready for life after high school?
If not, why not?

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
➢ ESSA is the reauthorized federal education law.• Differs from NCLB and NCLB
waivers in many ways• Most notably, returns many
decisions to the states• Little guidance and fewer
regulations➢ ESSA continues NCLB’s focus on
equity in five areas.
Accountability in ESSA
1. Academic Achievement
2. Academic Growth
3. Graduation Rate
4. English Language Proficiency
5. School Quality / Student Success
Accountability in ESSA
➢ School Quality / Student Success (SQSS)• The 5th indicator has the most room for new
measures• States can include measures from one of or all three
possible SQSS areas:- College & Career Readiness - Student & Educator Engagement- Climate & School Safety
Accountability in ESSA
➢ Examples of possible new measures in SQSS• College & Career Readiness
- 9th Grade credit accumulation- Advanced coursework (AP, IB, Dual)- Postsecondary enrollment/coursework
• Student & Educator Engagement - Chronic Absenteeism
• Climate & School Safety- Climate surveys- Discipline data
ESSA Timeline
➢ States are currently drafting ESSA plans.• DPI has been meeting with stakeholders since Summer 2016• Plan to write draft plan in March and April• Plan to post for public review in May• Revise and refine over Summer 2017
• Submit to the federal Department of Education in September
➢ Background, resources, timeline and feedback on ESSA are all online.• DPI’s ESSA page: https://dpi.wi.gov/esea

● the ability to effectively navigate both the world of higher education and employment
● confidence that their knowledge, skills, and dispositions are sufficient to pursue their personal, academic, social and career goals
Redefining Ready Increases Relevance of Education for Employment Programming
Reflective Questions -Continuous Improvement
• How do our current measures align to the SDNB Vision of the Graduate?
• How might research based metrics be used to inform continuous improvement?
• How might Education for Employment planning inform continuous improvement?
• What part of our desired framework might not necessarily align to the identified research based metrics?
• How might the frameworks between states differ?• What part of our framework should align to shared
objectives in our community, county, region … and to anticipated State accountability systems?
Defining a Quality Career Pathway
• Sequence of courses that start in high school and extend to include post-secondary education/training.
• Includes opportunity to earn industry certification and/or college credit.
• Embeds career based experiences through PBL and/or work based learning.
• Includes all post-secondary options (yes, even university!).
Reflective Questions - Career Pathways
• Should career awareness, exposure and preparation be limited to CTE courses?
• How does our district define CTE? Is that the same or different than what we report through CTEERS?
• Which pathways are most important to define and why? Where should they start and end?
• Should students be required to ‘engage’ in a career pathway? If so, does the student truly “Own the Voyage?”
• Should course offerings be limited to those that support defined pathways?
• Should courses taken off site through “Early College Credit” programs be considered ‘career pathway’ courses?
Key Objectives for Today
