This assumes that a college degree gets people ready for their careers... I think experience is much more useful....

College ready ... having the background knowledge (content) and skills (language arts for example: reading, writing, speaking, listening and language;) to succeed in college level courses. A large percentage of students leave HS, not college ready, and have to take remedial language arts courses. Career ready ... ability to present oneself well in order to obtain a job; having the reading, writing, speaking, listening, and math skills to succeed; have the technology skills to succeed.

@Kristina Shull Soooo.... If students going into college are not "college ready", what is the purpose of the ACT/SAT. I thought those assessments were pivotal in determining the readiness of a potential college student. Maybe they just weren't doing their jobs.... I personally would love to see the data that was collected during Common cores trials so teachers can look at, learn from, and have a model where they can best implement the standards.

At the 1:20 mark Coleman marks himself as a standards failure:
"...as careers change even more you need to have the flexible understandings in order to change your jobs and have a lifelong career."

Apparently we need "flexible undertandings" (what?) in order to have "lifelong careers" which will consist of only changing careers. Nice. Common Core: allowing you to change jobs with consistency.

This is the architect of these Corporate Core Standards.

So I heard words like state standards, collaboration, etc. Thus, they used the information from other high schools and state boards to make a program to make college ready / success standards. It may have helped to do a detailed analysis of what the college requirements are! I have never seen a successful program where the objectives were not defined first. Never in common core ( as far as I have seen) is the objectives defined other than be "college ready". No testing of the standards either

Taken directly from the Preamble to the CCSS: "The Common Core State Standards define the rigorous skills and knowledge in English Language Arts and Mathematics that need to be effectively taught and learned for students to be ready to succeed academically in credit-bearing, college-entry courses and in workforce training programs."

What's your take on CC? Either way it's happening

[smithtk]

OK - define what it means to be college and career ready? Nice sound, no content. Any real data backing up any of these blurbs and "important" phrases? This could be a commercial for dish washing liquid.
